Nourishment for the Spiritual Pilgrimage

"Vernon Jones provides a unique devotional resource designed to enable its users to become more fully-developed, life-long disciples of Jesus. He is a mature and experienced disciple who invites others into spiritual discipline by opening his own life of faith. Replete with specific suggestions that are realistic and encouraging, the book will be an excellent resource for people beginning their spiritual pilgrimage as disciples, as well as for veteran disciples."

--Walter F. Taylor Jr., PhD, Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, Ohio



"In Nourishment for the Spiritual Pilgrimage, Jones gives us practical and personal guidance for growing as a disciple. From the depth of his own experiences and reflection upon Scripture, he gives us daily handles on connecting with God, knowing and doing the will of God, and becoming an effective witness for Jesus."

--Jim Stuck, Bishop Emeritus, Indiana-Kentucky Synod, ELCA



"Jones's travelogue of the spiritual pilgrimage toward discipleship quickly becomes a trusted guidebook for our own journey. Touching on the pilgrimage's major themes--repentance, prayer, the Holy Spirit, discernment, hope, trust, and discipleship--this daily devotional keeps before us that ours is not a solitary journey by helping us recall the treasured 'cloud of witnesses' that surrounds and supports us. In fact, Jones becomes such a companion himself."

--Craig Alan Satterlee, PhD, Bishop, North West Lower Michigan Synod ELCA
