The present book is about devotee’s devotion at the feet of Guru Yeshu. We are living in a most challenging season where people of all age groups are confused, and uncertainties are looming around. In this season of uncertainties, the Word of God motivates us to move forward as there are scores of men and women in the Holy Bible who went through different seasons in life.

The author brought out 150 valuable lessons starting from “Nearer to Christ Matters” to “Every day is not a Mountain Experience.” These are lessons purely based on prayer and meditation. When the road seems to be closed, God opens the unexpected way in our lives. Moments are movements, for God is in control, and He will help us to overcome all hurdles in our lives. So, keep moving!
