The Nature of Discipleship

by Walter Bockholt

Overview

Come, and witness God's message written in the whispering trees, towering mountains, and boundless seas. Let your heart be opened to discovering newfound peace, clarity, and purpose through one of God's greatest teachers: nature. The Nature of Discipleship explores three elements of the Lord Jesus Christ's earthly life: His message, His ministry, and His mission. Through its pages, the contemplative reader is guided on a journey of self-discovery, illuminating a pathway of personal purpose patterned after the Savior's life. Serving as a conduit for spiritual enlightenment, this book transports the meditator into a realm of profound change. The messages in the book are intertwined with captivating photographs of natural landscapes and spiritual metaphors from nature designed to transport your contemplative heart to sacred spaces, regardless of your current location. Throughout time, those seeking guidance often withdrew from the distractions of society into the wilderness to commune with God and gain clarity for their journey. One such ancient sought the meaning of a beautiful tree seen in a vision and discovered it symbolized the love of God which branches out into the hearts of the children of men. Obtaining this love was identified as the greatest pursuit of life. Just as their paths were unique, so is yours, and through this experience, you'll receive personal insights and blessings from God as you set distractions aside, engage with the imagery, reflect on the text, and journal your innermost feelings. Expect to uncover solutions to your challenges and draw strength from above to continue your path of discipleship
