Pathways to God

“This book speaks to the spiritual hunger which marks our generation with insight and creativity. Religious leaders, as well as those who yearn to feel God’s presence more powerfully, will be enriched by its inspirational content. It is grounded in scientific research, the author’s extensive ministry experience, biblical exegesis, and enhanced by first-person stories. We are invited to learn how ordinary people are experiencing God in rare and mundane ways in their everyday lives.”


—Abigail Rian Evans, Charlotte Newcombe Professor Emerita, Princeton Theological Seminary





“Like a well-blazed trail, Tom Evans provides a clear path to exploring how we all can come closer to God. It is often assumed that ministers have all of the answers. Rather than providing answers, the better approach is to ask the right questions and listen. Through the use of surveys, focus groups, and Scripture, Pathways to God provides insight and practical ways to help individuals and congregations see the light of God around them.”


—John C. Lefebvre, Professor, Wofford College





“Tom Evans explores ways for the church to reconnect to God with a goal of spiritual unity. We draw nearer to God by reading passages of Scripture reminding us that God loves unconditionally, always ‘on full throttle.’ Sharing his adventures out west of Holy Communion and oneness with God though nature, plus highlighting the importance of congregational worship, are great examples of helping the reader find his or her own pathway to God.”
