Wilderness Moments

Book excerpt: All Christians experience wilderness moments at some points in their lives, ranging from feelings of alienation to feelings of retributions from God. Such moments come with intense spiritual drought, resulting in instances of suffering and pain, thereby leaving the believer bereft of a sense of direction. Typically, the believer finds himself or herself abandoned by God, and perhaps, on a collision course with God. Thankfully, ways of finding one's path back to normalcy and restoration find clear expression in the Bible. This book aims to provide a road map for all Christians-one that facilitates navigation through wilderness moments faced by all Christians. Basing its vantage point from Deuteronomy 8:1-5, from the life of Job, and most importantly, from the life of Christ, the believer seeking a sense of direction, comfort and assurance will find specific resources for restoration and recovery.
