Being from Atlanta, and a Christian, there are 2 names that you just know: Charles Stanley and his son, Andy Stanley.  Now, I have never met either man, but I have attended services at both of their churches, and they have both spoken into my life.  Through TV, Radio, Podcast, Bible Study, Devotional, or Book, both of these men have helped form my faith and my convictions.

So, it’s not a stretch that when Andy Stanley writes a book, I naturally want to read it, and The Principle of the Path is no exception.  At my current stage of life, making sure that I am on the right path is a priority.

Andy’s style of writing is engaging and very entertaining, much like his preaching style.  The basic premise of The Principle of the Path is that there are certain forces that are always at work in our lives, and these “principles” can be leveraged to either help us, or hurt us.  The Principle of the Path states; “Direction-not intention-determines our destination.”  It’s a pretty simple statement, but as Andy details in the book, there are many variables and paths that we can choose to go down, and they all led to different destinations.

I really enjoyed The Principle of the Path, I think that everyone should pick up a copy and read it, annually.  Andy makes some great points and challenges us to choose more wisely, the paths we take.  I whole-heartedly recommend you read The Principle of the Path.
