The Second Mile - Paperback

by Harry Emerson Fosdick (Author)

Jesus said, "And if someone forces you to go one mile, go two with him."

When Jesus said this, he was met with disagreement and resistance. And even today, most Christians will not go one mile with you, if they can avoid it. So, what is the fuss about? What does it truly mean to go that extra mile? And why should you?

An inconvenience ceases to be one when it's done with pleasure, and an insistence is no longer one if you do it willingly and graciously. But how do you do this? How do you turn life's inconveniences and often tyrannical insistences into pleasurable and fulfilling moments?

This book shows you how.

Harry Emerson Fosdick, 19th century Pastor and author, breaks down this verse. He does not insist that you go an extra mile or command you to, but encourages and explains the benefits and blessings of going that extra mile not just on your Christian journey but in your everyday life.
