Publisher Description
Modern men are experiencing unprecedented levels of angst and anxiety. We’re frustrated, stressed, burned out, and bored. We turn to work and wealth, busyness and distraction, alcohol and drugs and pornography. But none of it works. Because only one thing will bring us the joy, peace, purpose, and significance we desire: a relationship with the God of heaven. An intimate relationship, one that is real and true.
But for that kind of relationship, we must embark on a journey to encounter Him personally.
In his new book Odyssey, Justin Camp offers a practical, scriptural field guide for men who are ready to walk this ancient path. The book is built around six short biographies, real-life stories of great American astronauts. These nano-histories will engage readers’ curiosity and inspire them to undertake epic quests of their own.
This book is for scouts and prospectors, for explorers and pilgrims. It is for men who want to experience more and a better life than any of us ever thought possible.
Customer Reviews
Odyssey by Justin Camp
Odyssey is about every man’s search to find meaning, purpose and adventure in life. The book contains vignettes from six pioneer astronauts during the early space program. These men were sojourners in space and in life as they sought a closer relationship and walk with God. Justin captures their struggles, failures and victories, not only as astronauts, but husbands, fathers and men of faith. Interwoven are snapshots into the author’s own personal struggles and victories throughout his spiritual journey.
At the end of each chapter is the “On Board” section, with exercises and questions from the author, providing practical application for the reader. Men, don’t skip these or rush through. Here is where you’ll find the pearls, keys to unlocking your path to a closer relationship with God. It was here that I experienced a personal encounter with Jesus that I was not expecting nor prepared for. I realized I had to go back, drink deeper and linger in the Spirit as I thirst for more. Bill Weaver
Space and spirit, encounter!!
I assumed this book would be great, based on the fact that I read Justin Camp’s bi-weekly men’s devotional, The Wire for Men. I was not let down a bit. The book is extremely well thought out and written. I can feel his heart coming through in the stories and the care to create superb exercises and prayers at the ends of each chapter. The abbreviated biographies for each of the astronauts were so interesting and their journeys in space are more exciting to read than I was expecting. This book has really helped me posture myself for communion with God and connecting deeper than I was pursuing. Its life changing and ready to launch you into exploration of yourself and more importantly God.
