     All stories in these books are true stories about or by adults living out their faith.   Many occur in the fictitious contemporary "Hope Church." 
     Each chapter for a 60 minute journey has "Food for the Journey" ( scripture, prayer), "Encounters Along the Way" (stories, dramas, readings from sociology, theology, etc), and helpful information skillfully woven together into a highly interactive, intergenerational group experience.

The Generations Consider Difficult Choices

In the Spring of our adult lives, the soil must be prepared, nutrients added, and the seeds of our future sown.  The budding ideas, talents, values, and faith foundations are evaluated, trained and carefully tended.  Although there may be some failures, choices seem endless.
During our Summer, growth must be shaped, directed, and monitored, and then, hopefully, fresh produce appears (job advancement, children, possessions, helping others).  Now the balance shifts towards significant choices for others as well as for ourselves.
Autumn is the time when some of the fruits of our labor can be harvested and enjoyed while others are put aside for the future.  This is that phase of life when rearing children and building career are largely over for most people, but still there are important choices ahead.
In Winter the storehouse must be tapped for the reserves there.  It is that time prior to death when one's physical and/or mental abilities have declined to the point where independence is threatened and interaction with others is compromised.  Choices are difficult but God is with us.
