Discovering The Spiritual Journeys Of Bible Pilgrims In The Endless Possibilities Books

By Iva Cannon


With many people moving through life on paths designed to improve their personal faith, a series of books designed to help them can be very welcomed. For those who are Christian, the life affirming stories of famous men and women in the Bible hold particular interest. For this reason, author Lee B. Spitzen has created stimulating reading for those looking for inspiration and guidance.

Everyone who is spiritually minded has days and seasons when life simply gets confusing. Keeping a clear head about what is truly important can become clouded. These engaging endless possibilities books offer readers help for those times, because it can be difficult when problems arise and there is no clear answer or solution.

The volumes ask questions of the readers. Calls to consider whether or not one is actually growing in faith rather than declining are one tool included. Another question asks whether or not the reader is aware of what paths God has given to him or her.

Dr. Spitzer chooses constructive methods for learning to embrace the spiritual gifts God gives to each person. He is Jewish by birth, but became a Christian when he was a younger man. He and his wife were teenagers when they answered their call from God together. He writes in a manner that provokes thoughtfulness about choosing various life paths. Using scripture references and devotions, he calls his readers to do what he refers to as Exploration Exercises. These are designed to draw the faithful into deeper relationships with God and people.

The plan for the contents includes a distinct model for any journey of faith you might take. Dr. Spitzer teaches his students to identify five phases. The initial one is preparation. After that comes learning why you are called to be a faithful Christian. Third involves gaining cooperation skills with your neighbors and God. Fourth on his list is arriving at your end goal. Fifth discusses resurrection and your new life. He believes that these five are the model to learn from and follow.

The program has two main volumes. The first identifies what a spiritual journey truly is, teaches goals that one might use to focus on better life pathways, gives solutions for what to do when the paths are poorly judged and filled with problems and seeks to stimulate new thinking about what choices might be better for fulfilling positive goals.

The second volume in the program is course book filled with numerous opportunities for journal writing, note taking, and truly questioning what Christianity requires of its followers and provides for them throughout life. This contains reflections on the spiritual self using scripture passages for devotional purposes.

If you are seeking a more full way of traveling through life, with more options to stretch your spiritual self, you might consider attending one of the many retreats offered that use this program. You will be offered tools to overcome problems with loneliness, ways to encourage new friendships and many options for thinking about life very thoughtfully. If you truly wish to grow personally within the context of your church membership, these publications will help you to see new ways to create your most insightful life journeys.
