The Borderlands of Life

Change takes us to unfamiliar places, but scripture gives us a way to navigate through such times.

Whether you’re an ordained priest or a passing enquirer, Brickman’s guidance through life’s borderlands will lead readers through scripture, personal anecdotes, and theological reference to achieve spiritual maturity. Mixing insights from literature, psychology, and spirituality, Borderlands helps readers discover deeper identification with Christ.
