This book started with wondering. As I sought to grasp the essence of discipleship, I wondered about the very human aspects of the disciples journey with Jesus for three and a half years. Were they ever discouraged? Did they think of quitting? What bonds were developed between the twelve? How did they grow and change?I set out to examine their journey and found a very real connection to our journeys with Jesus and reasons to reflect deeply on this journey. This book will not only motivate you to reflect on Gods goodness as you think of your past, it will gently lead you to think about where you are today while parading the promises of endless tomorrows spent in His presence. My prayer is that you will take this opportunity to reflect on your journey with Jesus, see His handprint in your life, deepen your commitment to your walk with Him, and find a wellspring of contentment in your own Epic Journey.
