Small beginnings. Detours along the way. Questions about how and when God is going to fulfill His purposes. We know the end of David’s story, but David only knew it step by step. Like us, he had to follow God’s path even when it seemed too slow. He had to believe that realizing our life’s purpose is only the beginning of our calling, not the culmination of it. He had to trust that God sometimes allows years to go by between an anointing and a crown.
In Walking to Jerusalem, Dr. Chris Hill travels through the twelve cities that shaped David’s life and explores what those places mean in light of God’s calling to us. Dr. Hill also walks with us through the “cities” in his own remarkable story. Along the way, you will discover, or reawaken, your own unique calling. You will more fully understand the places you have already traveled, become attuned to the spiritual city where God has you now, and be better equipped for where God is leading you.
Walking to Jerusalem reminds us that where we start does not determine where we end up. Each step we take is a part of who we will become. So journey with David from his Bethlehem beginnings to his Jerusalem home. Discover with this shepherd boy that destiny is never just a destination. It’s a process God uses to shape who He has called us to be.
This book is worth the read! The way Pastor Hill breaks down David's journey makes it so relatable to our walk/journey to the promise God has over our own lives. David has always been a favorite of mine but I now have a much deeper respect and understanding of him and read the book of Psalms in a new light. I believe I will always compare the different cities mentioned in the book to my journey in life.
Wonderful book. Using the life of David and his own life Dr. Hill shares with us how to get to our own Jerusalem. Great book by all standards, teaches so many lessons as well. Plus when am reading about David and other characters in the bible am going to pay attention to every detail of their lives.
Following the life, struggles, and accomplishments of David through each of the cities in which he inhabited and learned valuable life lessons, the author relates his own journey through these cities and what they mean for us.
I listened to the audio book, and thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm glad I also have a hard copy because I will definitely revisit sections of this book to reference as I continue to seek God's full purpose for my life. Pastor Chris Hill is an outstanding orator and author.
