A Spirituality of the Road Book

I'm not sure that this would have received five stars from me at a different season of life, but at this particular point on "the road," it does. At first glance, one would wonder what insight Bosch has to offer today's missionary: he was a white South African. Yet Bosch addresses even his background in his study of 2 Corinthians. Despite A Spirituality of the Road's short length (90 pages), it is filled with insights into the life of Paul and his relationship with the church at Corinth. Most helpful to me was Bosch's rebuke of the common belief of Christian leaders that they are not allowed to have weakness, sin, or other struggles to their ministry, pointing quite clearly to the unnamed thorn in Paul's side. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for those who want to learn about pursuing sustainable ministry.
