Thirty-five years ago, when I was at a low point in my life, the Lord called on me to go deeper in the Faith and to commit myself more fully to Him. My reply? “Yes, Lord! I desire renewal, but I can’t do it alone. I need your help.”
That day, I took my first halting steps down the long Road to Spiritual Fitness. Today, with these pages, I’m inviting you to join me on this rewarding path—and, along with the Lord, I’m going to give you the help you need to do so.
Much like physical fitness, attaining genuine spiritual fitness requires sustained commitment: you need to be in it for the long haul. I’ve often wanted to turn back, but the Lord assures me that although the path is long and may sometimes be rugged, the effort is well worth it.
In these pages, I share key details of my journey down the Road to Spiritual Fitness and provide you with some of the first-class tools that have sustained me along the way (and will sustain you, too).
Don’t fear . . . and don’t delay! These tools are for regular guys like you and me, down-to-earth men struggling against the many temptations that face us today. I can assure you that if you follow the steps outlined in these pages, you will, through the power of the Holy Spirit, become spiritually fit to overcome those temptations and face the many other trials of this life. So join me now on the Road to Spiritual Fitness and become the better man God is calling you to be!
