The Sacred Journey is not an easy read. The blunt and mysterious statements made by Foster makes the reader wonder just what the writer is wanting from you. It pulls at the imagination, rips the easy chair apart and demands a response at almost every page. It's a collection of prods and goads that will push you forward, frustrate your complacency and leave you disastisfied with status quo.
Foster insists on pilgrimage for every believer. He claims God is a nomad Himself. I disagreed in irritation with some of his conclusions about the normal Christian walk, at first.
Foster recounts his own journeys to places like India, Israel and Jerusalem turned pilgrimages by events and the people he encountered. I relived my own travels and divine appointments as I read even if it was by tour. I determined new destinations.
Foster describes the sojourner's doubts, struggles and persistence in detail. I considered like wilderness treks.
I followed the ramblings of this discoverer in thought and careful consideration and closed the book with a heightened sense of purpose for my own journey.
I joined in full celebration with his conclusion of the ultimate pilgrim journey in the end.
The writer leaves the final decision to the imbiber. Drink deep, or not.
I recommend The Sacred Journey for any spiritual sojourner who wants more.
