Way of the Ox: Endurance to Thrive in the Storms of Life
In The Way of the Ox, Dr. David Stine lays the groundwork for a transformative spiritual journey that calls readers to forego the fast-paced, hustle-driven mindset of modern culture in favor of a quieter, more powerful and purposeful strength: the way of the ox.
The amazing musk ox embraces a life of hardship. In the Arctic Circle where they live in the wild, they choose to go into the blizzard instead of running for cover.
Stine challenges the belief that an easy life is a fruitful one. Instead, he invites readers to embrace the steady and sometimes gritty path of obedience, endurance, and unwavering purpose.
With pastoral insight and cultural clarity, Stine positions the musk ox as a symbol of divine resilience. He suggests five sacred keys to a bold redefinition of what it means to live a life of deep spiritual impact:
- Advancing in hope
- Advancing in faith
- Advancing in relationships
- Advancing in prayer
- Advancing in passion
Like the musk ox, Stine suggests, “we have been wired to overcome obstacles no matter how challenging they may seem. Since we are in Him and He is in us, we are overcomers.”
