On the Way: 100 Reflections on the Journey of Faith
On the Way is a book of reflections on one man’s journey of faith. Its origins lie in the universal longing of humankind for something beyond ourselves, for something once present that has diminished with the passing of time. This presence now is sensed only fleetingly, yet the longing persists. The title of the book has a double meaning. On the Way refers to the journey of faith, our lifelong pilgrimage from God and to God. But it also points to the one who leads us on this journey, the one who “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.”
On the Way is a collection of one hundred devotional readings, reminiscent of Spurgeon’s classic Morning and Evening Daily Readings and the Benedictine Lectio Divina. It is intended to stir within the reader some forward movement in their own journey of faith.

I had the pleasure of being a fellow-traveler on a pilgrimage to Eastern England in 2007. One of the leaders was Jim Rawls. That in itself made for an exciting, informative & spiritually rewarding experience.
James Rails is obviously an incredibly competent & precise author. His reflections on the Scripture readings for the entire Church year are full of wisdom as well as history, both personal & world-wide. The chapter selections are pleasantly short & to the point.
