The Principle of the Path by Andy Stanley

"Direction, not intention, determines our destination" – pg. 14

Andy Stanley presents his readers with a something he has called the "Principle of the Path." It's a principle, because regardless of whether you believe it, it's true. I sum it up as, our decisions decide where we end up... even if you act like it isn't so.

Personally, I loved reading this book! It has validated my worldview. Within the past year, I have discovered the power of choice. And if I'm not willing to accept the consequences of that choice, I shouldn't make it. If I speed down the highway, I might get a ticket. If I'm not willing to accept that, I shouldn't speed. As I share this with conservative Christians, I often reach resistance. Many don't believe that the power of choice is compatible with the sovereignty of God, but Stanley reveals that Biblically this isn't true. And thank goodness of that! We need both Truth and truth...
