Pilgrim by Gerard Valley

From the introduction to the book "Pilgrim":"My pilgrimage, if you have not surmised, is of the Christian variety. I am not only a follower of Christ but for 21 years was a vocational minister of the gospel. “Was” is a key word, which one day may be changed to “is again” or “will be”, but for now “was' is sufficient to explain my station in life now away from my call.The following pages tell the story of a part of my pilgrimage. It is split into 3 books: The first labeled “Lost” because I became lost even as a follower of Christ; The second-”Found” not only connotes I found my way back to the right path but also found God in a depth I had not yet experienced. The third, called “Forward” deals with the new attitude, the new heart, the new mind I needed to cultivate to not just go around in circles or be dead in my tracks but to start to move forward once again towards Heaven.Normally I would say “I hope you enjoy my book.” There are things to enjoy in these pages, I feel, but more than enjoying this book I hope you find this book useful on your pilgrimage. Maybe it will help you avoid the lostness I experienced. Maybe it will help bring you from being lost to found to moving forward again. Maybe it will help level that crooked table in your kitchen. In any case, if you find one thing that you can carry with you to help in your walk with Christ then one of the purposes of this book has been met.Greatest blessings and all grace to you."
