Rebecca Friedlander invites you to join her on the most important adventure of your life. This book will encourage you to find and deepen your relationship with God. Rebecca can help you find purpose in and for your life. She invites you to discover the warmth of Someone who already loves you.
Archbishop Robert L. Wise , coauthor of Days on Okinawa and I Marched with Patton
After walking with the Lord for half a century, Ive observed that its easy for a disciple to become slightly deaf. My good friend Rebecca Friedlander blew the wax out of my ears with two words: Perseverance Trail. I highly recommend her writing to anyone who wants to persevere and journey further in their discipleship with Jesus. But the one who endures to the end will be saved (Matt. 24:13 CSB).
Paul Clark , singer, songwriter, recording artist, pioneer of Christian music
Oh no, you say. Ive sworn off books on spiritual discipline for good! Ive already failed at every foolproof formula for spiritual maturity Ive read and Im steering clear of any more guilt. Goodthen youre ready for this wonderful revelation that God loves you already and hes not at all surprised that you are miles from perfect spiritual maturity. He invites you to take his hand through these precious pages and walk with him as a toddler who trusts her Daddy to be with her and pick her up when she falls down. Will it hurt to learn from someone like Rebecca, who is a few steps farther down the road with the Father? Not a bit!
Nancy Honeytree Miller , recording artist, pioneer of Christian music

Back Cover
A crisp breeze with the scent of mossy pine trees filled the air. The team of actors and film crew members emerged from their cars, ready to hike the rugged Alaskan trail. Carrying swords, leather costumes, a drone, and picnic lunches, and with medieval chain mail slung over our shoulders, we were about to shoot an epic fantasy film I had written. With a bag of cameras on my back and a set list of notes in my pocket, I excitedly pointed toward the narrow path, and we began our climb to the film location.
For months, wed been planning for this day: writing scripts, building layers of plotlines, developing characters, and choosing a mountainous location in Juneau for the opening scene. Without a large budget, a film studio, or investors, I had simply saved my pennies to create this project. A few members of the team from Texas had even paid their own travel costs out of a personal belief in this venture. I pinched myself with excitement. Our first day of filming was finally here!
Local scouts had told me that the target destination offered a stunning mountain view, and the hiking trail was fairly straightforward. It would be well worth the trek.
It only takes ninety minutes to hike, they said offhandedly. Its very easy.
Looking back, I should have known better. They were hard-core Alaskans, and the path was named Perseverance Trail. Easy? Sure...
A few minutes of hiking made it clear we were not prepared for the intensity of the path. We found ourselves growing weary as our feet plodded from one mountain to another. The air was thin and the blinding northern sun rose high, demanding more energy than we could possibly have imagined. Our packs felt increasingly more awkward and cumbersome as we ascended miles of winding trails through glacial forests. The crew from Alaska was loving it. The actors from Texas were dying! I peppered the conversation with pep talks, resolutely believing that our goal would be worth the grueling effort.
