The road believers travel is broken with twists, turns, and detours into worldliness and man-made religion. Thankfully, God uses that broken road to draw us back toward the destination our hearts long for----intimacy with Him. In Agape Road , author Bob Mumford illustrates how to avoid taking detours by abiding in Jesus. Experiencing God's unconditional agape love gives us the security, identity, and belonging we cannot get any other way.
