The Narrow Path by Rich Villodas
We live in a culture that wants it all. More is seen as better - whether it's more money, social media fame, more choices, or power. For those chasing this way of life, 'narrow' seems negative. Who wants to narrow their options, or be seen as narrow-minded? Which is why the most well-known talk in history - the Sermon on the Mount - is also the most paradoxical. In it, Jesus holds up the narrow path as the most spacious ... and the broader path as the more confining one.
Rich Villodas, bestselling author of The Deeply Formed Life, helps us to diagnose whether we are following the broad or narrow path, in order to help us pursue the way of Jesus more deeply. The Narrow Path reintroduces the counterintuitive wonder of Jesus's timeless wisdom for this age, one fraught with anxiety, depression, polarizing politics, and online vitriol. The path of Jesus is most certainly narrow, but it is the only one filled with the ever-expanding life of God . . . and it is available now for all who want it!
