The Map of Sonship.This book isn’t written as sanctimonious advice from someone who has never suffered from the blows from their own depravity, gotten their hands dirty, or had their heart broken. It is presented to you as an encouragement to go where most men and women do not go. It is an invitation to embark on a new journey and a call to courageously pursue the things that are real, honest, and true.
It is for the hungry soul who is daring enough to go against the cultural facades of Christianity and religiosity to actually pursue the heart of God with voracity and the intent of finding our true calling. If the Quote below still resonates with you then the Map of Sonship will help you get back on track! “Although claiming my true identity as a child of God, I still live as though the God to whom I am returning demands an explanation. I still think about his love as conditional and about home as a place I am not yet fully sure of. While walking home, I keep entertaining doubts about whether I will be truly welcome when I get there. As I look at my spiritual journey, my long and fatiguing trip home, I see how full it is of guilt about the past and worries about the future. I realize my failures and know that I have lost the dignity of my sonship, but I am not yet able to fully believe that where my failings are great, 'grace is always greater.' Still clinging to my sense of worthlessness, I project for myself a place far below that which belongs to the son.” ― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming |
