The Path Through the Maze is a short, easy-to-listen-to audiobook that presents the traditional Gospel in a contemporary manner, using stories to communicate God's eternal truths. It is meant to be shared. It's a book about each person's future. If there's one thing we all people have in common, it's their desire to discover what is about to take place in their lives. They want to know; they need to know. This instinct expresses itself with differing intensity - from mild curiosity to a driving obsession. Anticipation concerning life is at our very core.
