8From the day we are born, we are all on a journey. Placed into our parents' arms as a tiny pink or blue bundle of joy, we have our whole future ahead of us. What we will be and who we will become are yet to be determined. Each leg of the path begins to shape us, however. We fill our bags along the way-some with nuggets of honesty, hard work, and uprightness, while others carry stones of rejection, abandonment, and abuse. It is on the path from Childhood to Adulthood where we meet Traveler, a boy whose time to make the journey has come. Life's Journey by Ava Shupert is an inspiring allegorical tale which follows the sojourn of Traveler, a young boy, as he makes the expedition from Childhood to the city of Adulthood. Passing on the street of Adolescence and through the doors of High School, we watch as Traveler faces many choices and decisions about who he will follow and what he will become. There are many who seek to deceive him along the way, and without eyes to see and ears to hear, it is easy to fall into their traps. Filled with twists and turns, joy and sorrow, and ruin and redemption, Life's Journey discusses themes universal to the human experience, such as love, pain, betrayal, and forgiveness, and points readers to the only One who can guide us to a path of purpose and meaning, healing the scars we've gotten along the way-Jesus. The story shows His perfect love and sacrifice for us and that if we will surrender and make Him our Lord and Savior and follow Him, we will be able to walk along the silver path to glory.
