Description
Book Introduction
Friends I met on the road throughout my life
Nineteen letters written with a conversational spirit
“Life is a road.
I can't imagine life on the road.
Sometimes I walk down a brightly open road humming a song, but other times I cry in front of a blocked road.
There are many times when I stand at a crossroads.
The content of your life changes depending on which path you choose.
The nickname of the early church members was 'those who walk that path.'
Believing in Jesus means living by making Jesus' path my own.” Many people confess that Jesus is the 'way,' but I think again about 'that way,' which has changed from a 'way to walk' to a 'way to look at, admire, and worship.'

Into the book
“Go with everyone.” I think the path to God is not a path that excludes and shuns anyone, but rather a path that is walked alone.
In fact, everyone is 'everyone'.
Because within us, adults and evil people, adults and children coexist.
Life becomes difficult when you try to force yourself to separate one of them.
--- p.58
These days, I often think that I live my life with thoughts that are too disconnected from people's daily lives.
I find myself questioning how relevant it is to talk about sharing, care, service, life, peace, and slowness to people who are completely obsessed with rising apartment prices.
Whenever I have such thoughts, I think of the story of the cuckoo.
One evening, when the croaking of frogs was loud, the cuckoo was in a bad mood.
Because his song was buried in the croaking of frogs.
The cuckoo complained to God.
Then God said,
“Don’t the frogs croak louder because you’re not singing?”
--- pp.134-135
Those who lacked the courage to face punishment or disadvantage were unable to step outside the framework they had created.
Individual desires and freedom were not permitted.
We have been domesticated into beings of the opposite sex.
Unfortunately, I cannot help but add 'religion', or more precisely 'Christianity', to this list.
Because Christianity, which should set people free, is actually confining them in an even narrower framework.
Many people seem to be living with a “stepfather” instead of the God Jesus called “Abba, Father.”
--- p.142
Is "that way" now no longer a path to be walked, but a path to be gazed upon, admired, and worshipped? Jesus built a bridge of communication between men and women, Jews and Gentiles, sinners and the righteous, and through his death on the cross, he opened the way between life and death.
But Jesus, who is captivated by the religious leaders, becomes a barrier and divides people.
Every time I hear the prayers contrasting 'that sinful world' with 'the ark of salvation,' I cannot help but feel Jesus' loneliness and loss.
It is frightening that Jesus, who came to break down walls, is perceived as someone who builds walls.
In fact, everyone is 'everyone'.
Because within us, adults and evil people, adults and children coexist.

Publisher's Review
Friends I met on the road throughout my life
Nineteen letters written with a conversational spirit
Everyone who professes to believe in Jesus, regardless of whether they are you or not, confesses that Jesus is the 'way'.
But when did the "Way of Jesus" become a "way to be walked" rather than a "way to behold, admire, and worship"? In an age where the church has become an object of criticism, we rethink "that way."
The road ahead of us now
As the author writes in the preface, “Life is a journey.
I can't imagine life on the road.
Sometimes I walk down a brightly open road humming a song, but other times I cry in front of a blocked road.
There are many times when I stand at a crossroads.
“The content of your life changes depending on which path you choose.” This applies to everyone living on this earth, but for Christians, the word “path” has a particularly special meaning.
In fact, believing in Jesus means making the path Jesus walked my own path.
That is why the early church members were nicknamed “people who walk that path.”
The writings in this book show us how we, living in the present, should walk 'that path.'
The author seriously contemplates and reflects on the direction of life by looking back on our daily lives, the surrounding landscape, and current social issues, crossing over poetry, novels, and Eastern and Western classics.
The nineteen pieces, written in a warm style as if writing letters to friends met on the road throughout life, have a deep, unforced resonance.
Why I'm Talking About 'That Road' Again
This book, republished under the title “The Road to Walk, the Road to Walk,” is a compilation of articles originally serialized in Christian Thought from March 2004 to June 2006 as “Kim Ki-seok’s Stories of Heaven, Earth, and People.”
The reason why this manuscript, which was serialized in a magazine over 15 years ago and compiled into a book the year after the serialization ended, is being republished is because the issues the author was concerned about at the time have not changed much, and the situation has actually gotten worse.
In this tragic era, where churches have completely forgotten the Lord's calling to build bridges between God and people, and between people, and are only trying to show off their power by growing in size, they are turning a blind eye to the world's suffering and are at the forefront of discrimination and exclusion. It is time for us all to seriously consider the path we must walk together and seriously reflect on whether we are walking in the right direction.
