The Church that once ran toward pain now often stays in comfort. We speak truth but lack presence. We offer answers but rarely show up with mercy. But what if we could change that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Road We Must Travel Again is a call to return to the road where love costs something, where compassion requires action, and where the Gospel gets personal. With clarity, conviction, and practical insight, this book challenges believers to rise above passive religion and live out a Spirit-filled, mercy-driven faith that actually changes lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not a book about ideas. It is about impact. It is about a Church that moves toward the broken, lifts the fallen, and walks with the wounded. It is about rediscovering the power of proximity, the importance of presence, and the healing that happens when we bring both oil and wine to the hurting. If you have ever felt the ache that something is missing in modern Christianity, if you\u2019ve longed to be part of something real, something raw, something that looks like Jesus, then this is your invitation. You were never meant to sit on the sidelines. You were made to carry mercy, speak life, and walk the road that others avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not just a message. It is a movement. One that begins when ordinary people say yes to an extraordinary call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not walk past what God is asking you to see. Do not close your heart to what He is asking you to feel. The road is calling. The time is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s return to the place where love still stops, still serves, and still saves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s walk the road we must travel again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-63375db1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westbowpress.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/868476-the-road-we-must-travel-again\" style=\"border-radius:3px;background-color:#4486c6;font-size:15px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ORDER A COPY NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Somewhere along the road we lost our way.
