Divine Descent - Paperback

by Melanie Park (Author)

Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. -Philippians 2:3-4 (NLT) When Jesus descended from the glorious streets of gold in heaven, He landed in a filthy manger and began His mission to save our souls. The Bible is filled with examples of God calling people down from a life of ease at the summit to toil in the fertile valley of humanity. Unlike popular self-help books that promise worldly gain through personal transformation, Divine Descent explores the Biblical invitation to live sacrificially for God. Using personal stories, focused Scriptures, discussion questions, and prayers, Melanie Park explores the transformative spiritual growth available to God's children when they replace the pursuit of secular summits with an intentional desire to walk with God in a valley of selflessness. God calls people up and down mountainsides for various reasons, but the fact that you're holding this book might be an indication that God isn't leading you on another ascent. Instead, He's inviting you to explore a holy pathway of Divine Descent.
