Books That Slay, published a summary of a book in 2023 that you may have read in your academic pursuits, as an assigned reading for leaders who face major challenges, or perhaps you were just looking for some good reading material to steer you away from the habit of watching television. The book is titled, “The Road Less Traveled,” and it was written in 1978 by M. Scott Peck.
The summary says, and I quote, “The book opens with the striking line, “Life is difficult,” a statement so simple yet profound, setting the tone for what follows. Peck argues that once we accept life’s inherent challenges, we can move from pain to growth, transcend our limitations, and embrace a joyful, fulfilling life. The book is organized around the foundational principles that make such growth possible: Discipline, Love, Religion, and Grace.” Of course, the summary is much shorter that the 325 words fount in the latest edition. Hopefully you made it through the summary, and if it was deemed too be long purchase it and dig deeper, Let me present you with “The Road Less Traveled for You.” “You can enter true life only through the narrow gate. The gate to hell is very wide, and there is plenty of room on the road that leads there. Many people go that way. But the gate that opens the way to true life is narrow. And the road that leads there is hard to follow. Only a few people find it.” I pray that you are staying on the road which is less traveled. find it! Where? Try the word of God! Oh, don’t take my word for it! Read the verse below says about God’s word.
Have a great day on your journey my Christian friend. Now, go about your way, staying committed, God-conscious, and Christ-centered. And remember, when life gets difficult, you have Divine Help! Be blessed!
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105 New King James Version)
Committed to the climb,
Mark L. King
