Ride the River: Directions for Receiving God's Guidance

The author employs the historic "trinity" of President Jefferson, Lewis and Clark, and their leadership in the Corps of Discovery as a kind of allegory from which he draws instruction on guidance. Most Christians seek the guidance of God; many are not sure how to obtain it, how to recognize it if they do obtain it, or how to cultivate obedience leading to life goals. Larry Christenson draws on his own life history of Riding the River (following the path illuminated by divine direction)to illustrate why people need the Holy Spirit's NOW Word in life situations as well as the timeless written Word of Scripture; how to meet and overcome obstacles; the place of common sense; the importance of will and determination; and a deep background of understanding the ways of God resulting from Biblical study. Christenson writes well, uses excellent illustrations and examples from the Lewis and Clark expedition and from rich pastoral experience. Many serious Christians have been waiting for this book.
