Room of Marvels Hidden in Christ The Magnificent Story The Magnificent Journey
Description In this moving story a Christian author goes to a retreat center to grieve and face the hard questions about God that he is asking in the wake of these losses. And if you have ever wondered what heaven is like, this book provides a beautiful vision. Memorizing and studying a passage in depth can offer a deeper sense of the meaning of each word. In this unique introduction to the hidden life in Christ, James Bryan Smith walks readers through a thirty-day immersion in Colossians 3:1-17. Any story worth giving the power to shape our lives must pass a simple test: Is it beautiful, good, and true? If it is, then it is a magnificent story—and that is where transformation takes place. There is a road to life in the unshakeable kingdom of God, but it's not an easy journey. In The Magnificent Journey, the author shows us the better road, the road less travelled, but the road full of riches.

"The Good and Beautiful Community is very readable, relatable, and practical. Recommend it to pastors, adult Sunday school teachers, small-group leaders, fans of Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, and customers interested in spiritual formation and disciplines."
