“A Day’s Journey” Now Available
— By Tim Keesee
There was a time when I was not at all sure if I would be around to see A Day’s Journey published, but by God’s kindness, He has given me the days and strength to see these stories told. Not only has the Lord brought me to this day, but He has “loaded me with benefits” (Ps. 68:19). In timely and abundant ways during chemo, the transplant, and these uncertain days, God has filled my faltering sails with the wind of His presence and promises and the strengthening words of praying friends.
Joni Eareckson Tada has been such a companion on this journey—and when she agreed to write the Foreword to the book, it meant more than I can say.
Joni is one of my heroes, a sister and friend whose winsome words and compelling hope always help quicken my pace in following Christ.
Here’s an excerpt from Joni’s Foreword:
Tim knows that with every hard effort bravely faced, with every gentle word spoken under affliction, and with every cross cheerfully shouldered, the Church is ratcheted up to a higher level. When sufferers exalt their Savior, they infuse iron into the faith of others. Their testimonies endow people with a clearer view of God. And all of it makes the body of Christ strong and pure-hearted. The Church – especially the Western Church – is in urgent need of such examples.
Tim Keesee is not slowing down his quest. Once again, he’s been hard at work cataloguing the stories of courageous Christians. But this time, his journal looks different. In A Day’s Journey, he not only records the faith-stories of others . . . he includes his own. Tim’s recent battle against a fierce cancer has enlisted him among his brave examples. And we, his readers, are all the richer for it.
A Day’s Journey was written for you. The stories on the following pages are compiled for the enrichment of your faith. For when it comes to hardships, we all need hope, help, and a little guidance. Titus 2:7 says, "In everything set them an example by doing what is good," and with every chapter, Tim provides convincing examples of how to do what is good; that is, how to endure the weightiest of afflictions with an eye to God’s glory.
A Day’s Journey is now available for purchase at our online store with new release pricing of $12 now through January 5. It’s also available from the publisher Bethany House and at Amazon and many other online retailers.
