Life is a never-ending highway of rush-hour, bumper-to-bumper journeys. We turn homeward to heal old wounds, bury our dead, or perhaps rediscover a lost friendship. We revisit our greatest victory and sweat through our most humiliating defeat. We hit the road on a quest for wisdom, to fulfill a dream, right a wrong, or explore the beckoning horizon. We agonize through grief and pain, maybe follow God's path to redeem the evil culture around us.

Some of life's journeys produce a pounding pulse and pumping adrenalin. Others are pursued with dread and dragging of feet. Occasionally, we stifle a yawn. Whatever your experiences, life is a journey of constant movement; sometimes slow and serene, sometimes a blinding blur. But always, movement.

The Bible is full of women and men who found life to be one journey after another. And their experiences point the way to bedrock beneath our daily shifting sands. JOURNEYS FROM HERE TO ETERNITY tells 21 stories of Bible characters (some well-known, some not so much). Their life journeys teach us compelling stories for our own journeys. What journey are you on right now? Is it thrilling, terrifying, agonizing, or confusing? Where will your next journey go? Long ago, God mapped the route you travel today. He charted your path. He knows every pothole. He is eager to go with you where your road will lead, even if you have followed rabbit trails along the way. He is, after all, the God of Plan B.

Is God your co-pilot? Rather, are you His co-pilot? One of humankind's most challenging exercises is to take your hands off the controls and let Him fly.

Reviews for Journeys from Here to Eternity

""As you let this book guide your walk with Jesus, triumph in Christ will increasingly become yours. I recommend this book, as it will lead to freedom and fullness in Christ."" - Rev. Dr. Tom Murphy, former Editor-in-Chief, Missionary Church Today magazine. ""I can feel faith rising up in me as I read."" - Heather Comstock, founder of Arcadian Hill Handmade. Reader beware: your life could be changed by reading this book. My friend and former mentor, Curtis Alexander, has sounded the clarion call that our relationship with God is not about destination, but journey. For some, he has resurrected this powerful metaphor, reminding us that our life is a walk with Christ. For others, this idea of journeying with God is an entirely new and life altering concept. - Rev. Michael McGlynn, Battle Creek, Michigan In Journeys From Here to Eternity, Dr. Alexander bids you ride with him through Bible times all the way to the present. As a truck driver, turned lawyer, turned judge, I couldn't resist jamming a few gears with Dr. A. My journey took me through family ties, mountaintop and valley experiences, and being humbled. Yours may run through witnessing opportunities, hurdling obstacles, or choosing which stand to take. Whatever your journey, Pastor Curt has the map. - Judge Michael Risinger (ret.), Illinois and Florida It was encouraging and intriguing to read Journeys From Here to Eternity. I found the writing informative, concise, and the lessons applicable. Moments of truth were included in each chapter, and appeared all through the writing. It is an engaging and enjoyable read. - Rev. Denny Collins, Michigan This is a ""Must-Read"" for all believers in Jesus wondering where they're headed in life. As Dr. Alexander teaches, ""Long ago God mapped the route you are traveling on today."" He wants to lead you on a journey through suffering, depression, and danger to peace, forgiveness, and friendship. You can serve and fulfill God's plan for your life. Curtis uses stories, lesson summaries, breakout boxes, Moment of Truth circles, reflection questions, and YouTube videos-cutting edge formatting-to connect with the reader in every chapter. The lessons are powerful yet easy to read for anyone. Open this book and be pulled into blessing and intrigue. You can't put it down! - Jerry Brewer, Florida Curtis, I enjoyed and appreciate your God-gifted wisdom and skills in writing such a refreshing, insightful and challenging book! May it be a blessing to all who get hold of it! Remembering the past always gives opportunity to live more wisely and blessed in the present. Curtis Alexander's Journeys From Here to Eternity refreshingly invites us to adhere to our Way Maker's unshakeable faithfulness and be challenged to have Him map our personal life's journey. I encourage you to join him in this adventure! - Rev. Jerry Terui, Kauai, Hawaii Curtis uses simple language and inspiring stories to apply deep biblical truth from familiar Bible women and men. He redraws stories we think we know, with a twist-their journey. We focus on the obvious, but these stories are more than a Sunday School lesson. Each journey is different and key to who the person was, and why God used them. If we are willing, their journeys can help us on ours, and shape us into who God wants us to be. Discover the journeys of these characters, and in the process learn about your own. - Rev. Michael Alexander, Michigan (Dr. A's nephew)
