Description: "All of us have a little wanderlust -- a desire for that next thing, that new place -- but this competes with our longings for security, control, and safety. We don't like feeling unsettled and uprooted. But the truth is that God has a profound purpose for leading us into times of wandering. Born to Wander reminds us that God's people have always been exiles and wanderers. And this is good news because exile transforms us. In Christ, directionless wanderers become pilgrim followers who have a clear purpose and a secure identity. A master storyteller and Jewish follower of Jesus, Michelle Van Loon examines the deep and scriptural roots of pilgrimage using stories from her own life and the Old Testament. She will help you own your pilgrim identity and reorient your heart toward the God who leads you home. If you keep chasing security,  you'll never find it. Embrace the purpose behind the wandering and discover the freedom and safety of resting in God alone." --  Back cover.
