Pathways to the King: Living a Life of Spiritual Renewal and Power

Rob Reimer. Carpenter's Son Publishing, $14.99 paper (208p) ISBN 978-0-9883962-0-3

In this forthright and sincere call to revival, Reimer, the founder and lead pastor of South Shore Community Church in Bridgewater, Mass., details a plan for Christians to experience and expand "God's kingdom on Earth." The first step in this process is to personalize one's identity in Christ by meditating on scripture, seeking God for revelation, and renewing one's mind. Next, Reimer advises individuals to pursue God, because, "if you understood who God was, and how much you meant to Him, nothing would keep you from pursuing Him with all your heart." From there, Reimer suggests individuals continue their spiritual renewal via purification, praise, prayer, and persistence. Reimer's tendency to sermonize makes his prose repetitive at times. And despite the author's heartfelt passion and conviction, his book is likely to be lost in the flood of similar Christian titles.
