Landmarks: Turning Points on Your Journey Toward God
So much men's work has been built exclusively on secular sources or exclusively on religious sources. Bill Delvaux teaches from wisdom wherever it is to be found, including our Judeo-Christian sources. Richard RohrFranciscan priest, founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation and best-selling author of Adam's Return and From Wild Man to Wise Man  In Landmarks: Turning Points on Your Journey Toward God, author Bill Delvaux describes a series of unexplainable choices that yielded satisfying results. He left a ministry position for teaching, and left his teaching position to write and speak about faith. A thoughtful writer, Delvaux was asked by a colleague to explain how his spiritual journey developed through these counterintuitive decisions. Delvaux responds that though he never knew he was going in the right direction, his Heavenly Father provided certain “landmarks” along the way. For frequent readers of evangelical nonfiction, the landmarks may seem unsurprising—giving up idols, addressing old wounds, seeking sexual purity. Yet Delvaux’s way of addressing these topics gives this slim book both gravity and purpose. When discussing idols, for instance, Delvaux shares his own former insistence that the details of his life be in order, right down to his junk mail. He realized that grasping toward perfection was ultimately idolatrous. As he reveals his own story, readers are gently guided to consider their own. A movie fan, Delvaux situates many of his lessons within the context of popular films. A small book that leaves a big impression,Landmarks tells how one man was transformed by embracing the principles he’d been teaching his whole life. BookPage
