The Principle of the Path Review

Andy Stanley, in The Principle of the Path, gives us the key for a successful life. Based on the Bible, the author gives the reader simple facts to be used to change the direction of one’s life.

The main idea of his book is: "Direction, not intention, determines destination." In the pages that follow, he outlines how we often brush off this statement in our lives as we believe that our desires and intentions are really what matter. Stanley reminds us - it only matters what we do, not what we hope or want or aspire to do.

Time is needed as well as a change in direction to get your life where it needs to be-hopefully to one pleasing to God. Andy Stanley doesn’t accuse you or point out your mistakes but offers Bible based knowledge that helps led a life honoring to God.

Mr. Stanley writes in a conversational style where the reader can easily feel like he’s speaking directly to the author as a friend. Everyone makes mistakes, finding the way to God is clear if one just seeks the Almighty God. He doesn’t make Himself unavailable to His children.
