Product Information

Exploring the story of Christ’s playful, poignant conversation on the road to Emmaus, Pete draws deeply from the insights of a wide range of Christian traditions. Nothing could possibly matter more than learning to discern the voice of God, but few things in life are more susceptible to delusion, deception and downright abuse.
