Bill Atwood relates how life lessons he learned as a young boy from his Grandfather, Brigadier General James Arthur Pickering, became the basis for using Scripture, and, more recently, brain science to respond to various emotions we all experience in life. He demonstrates how this knowledge can help us walk in the joy that God intends us to have.

In this small book, Bishop Bill Atwood relates some of the instances when he heard the "voice" of Jesus leading, guiding, and protecting him in different situations, with the hope that the reader will learn, too, how to hear from Jesus.

This book provides an understanding and practical application of the Spiritual Journey as presented by St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila. The author uses his personal experience and insights provided by his spiritual director, who described the spiritual journey as a "spiral whereby we pass through the same spiritual regions several times at different levels while we move closer in union with Christ." He carefully explains elements of the spiritual journey that Christians will recognize in their own pilgrimage. The book examines landmarks in stages described as the pre-purgative way, the purgative way, the illuminative way, and the unitive way, providing explanations for many of the questions that baffle, and often defeat, Christians as they struggle to understand events in their lives that seemingly make no sense but that God is using to conform them to the image of Christ.

This book is an introduction to living in the Kingdom of God here and now, instead of just waiting to inherit it in the future. When Jesus taught, "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as in heaven," He intended us to pray, work, and long for things on earth to become like they are in heaven. This book seeks to help people make progress in living that out.
