In early 2005 Rod Purves was called by the Lord to pray for the healing of California and American families. During his 15 years in the Navy our Lord had him walking through many foreign lands praying for peace and restoration. In this book you will read the trip biography of his journey as he wheeled a 10 foot cross 1100 miles along the coast of California and found revelation and understanding for the need of Christian unity in our land. His journey revealed who are we as Gods chosen people and the image of America in accordance to the faith of our forefathers and displayed in our God inspired constitution.
He experienced the very image of the Church as the American people of God finding their roots in the Old Testament resemble the covenant between God and Israel by which God wished to save all of humanity through the passion of his only Son which is Christ Jesus but moreover to engraft individuals by the building of Christ centered loving communities. This image emphasizes the dignity of each Christian as a temple of the Holy Spirit and all of us are called into a fellowship of love and truth. The people of God are us who are baptized and acknowledge that Jesus is the Christ and is Lord and Savior. As true Americans being a Christian nation our mission is to live our lives in such a way that the Lord's light shines forth in the world through us. When we Love, Gods love can be seen.
Rod's experiences remain as relevant and enduring as they did in 2005 when a man set out on an adventure that would touch the lives he met and changed his life forever.
Rodrick Purves is a student of the human condition, wielding the written craft to enrapture the mind much like an artist wields a brush. The pages are a blank canvas on which to draw from a talent heralded by many and matched only by an imagination that rises to the task. Crosswalk is the first in a series of recent pursuits, with work progressing quickly on the follow-up.
