Have you ever had to make a hard choice, did you take the hard but straight path. When I read Dangerous Journey it changed my faith, my thought of following temptation, and trusting God.
When you read this book it could change your faith.
When you read this book it could change your faith because if you follow the hard but straight path you realize that you are like Christian, facing many temptations before you die. Christian was not on his way to death, he was on his way to the Celestial City. On the way to the Celestial City Christian and Hopeful were tricked by the Deceiver. He trapped them in his net, but Christian and Hopeful did not give up. An Angel came and cut the net and they were free. When I read the book it changed my faith, it felt like God was talking to me and saying that “ If you follow the hard but straight path it will help you trust me and love me even more then ever.”
When you read this book it could change your thought of temptation.
When you read this book it could change your thought of temptation because whenever Christian did not follow the hard but straight path, he somehow got back to where he made the wrong choice and went the opposite way. For example, when Christian was on his way to the Celestial City he saw a meadow and the other way was a gravel path with the scorching hot sun on the gravel. Christian and Hopeful went on the meadow and ran into doubting castle. They ended up staying there for about 3 days, until they escaped the dungeon and went back to the gravel path and wrote a sign in the meadow that said, “ Over this fence is on the way to Doubting Castle kept by Giant Despair who hates the owner of the Celestial City and seeks to kill all pilgrims who trespass.” When I read the book I thought that I could resist temptation on my own. Now I know that God can help me resist temptation.
When you read this book it could change your trust in God.
When you read this book it could change your trust in God because when Christian would start to lose trust in God he would think about the Celestial City and gain back his trust. His friends Faithful and Hopeful would also help him trust God and have lots of hope in God. They also helped him in the times of temptation. When Christian was in the slough of Despond he never gave up and he kept going. When Christian made it to the cross he got new clothes because he put all his trust in God. When Christian was in the valley of the shadow of death and he saw the mouth of Hell itself he put his trust in God and made it across safely. Just like Christian placed his trust in God during the challenges of his journey to complete the journey with hope and trust in God I’ve learned to put my hope and trust in God and he helps me when I need it most.
I hope that you will read this book and realize all that God does for us. He loves us so much that He let his only son die for all of our lives. How Great is our God! If you follow the hard but straight path it could change your faith, your thought of temptation and encourage your trust in God.
