A new twist on an old classic, Annie Wald has innovatively
re-written Pilgrim’s Progress
for couples. In doing so, she has
managed to grasp the core essentials of what marriage is really all about, and
provides sage advice on how one can successfully navigate the oft-times rocky
terrain of married life. For Annie,
marriage is more than a one-day affair; it’s a daily walk in a sometimes cold
and unfriendly world. There are snares
and pits that the married couple must avoid (or work their way out of). There are also periods of rest, refreshment,
relaxation, and a rekindling of the old flame.
Truth be told – if you are married to the same person that you said your
vows to, whether that was 5 years ago or 50 – then there is something
definitely wrong. Mark Lowry stated it
something like this: “Life is birthdays,
and bills; it’s good, and bad, and ugly; it’s new cars and skinned knees. And Jesus came to give life . . .
ABUNDANTLY!” In this allegory, Annie
invites you to take a walk with Peter and Celeste as they journey toward the
King’s City. You’ll find yourself
rooting for them, weeping with them and rejoicing with them. And you might even find yourself in this
book, as well.
Inventive, imaginative, provocative, and compelling are just
a few of the words I would use to describe Walk
With Me. One last adjective
might suffice: life-altering. Read it as a couple, share it with your couple
friends . . . but don’t ever forget the invitation to Walk With Me.
