OTHERS: FIND YOUR ROAD, FIND YOUR PEOPLE
OTHERS: FIND YOUR ROAD, FIND YOUR PEOPLE
Biblical Lessons from the Good Samaritan
A full study of one parable. Fourteen chapters. One command you cannot walk away from.
What This Book Is About
There is a road in the Bible that runs through every life.
It stretches from Jerusalem to Jericho, seventeen miles of danger, and on it a wounded man lies bleeding while three travelers decide what to do about him. A priest passes by. A Levite passes by. A Samaritan stops.
Others: Find Your Road, Find Your People walks you down that road one step at a time. This is not a quick read. It is a full biblical study, born out of a missions conference, built to change how you see people, how you use what God has given you, what you put first, and how close you are willing to come.
By the end, you will not just understand the parable. You will know your own road.
Born in the Pulpit, Written for You
This book grew out of a mission conference at Memorial Baptist Church in Ocala, Florida, where more than fifty-five thousand words of sermon material were preached, tested, and lived out before a single word reached the page.
The outlines have been rewritten into pastoral prose. The truths have not changed. The Scripture has not changed. Only the road has changed. You are no longer sitting in a pew. You are holding a book. And the invitation is the same one that congregation received.
Six Parts. Fourteen Chapters. One Road.
Part One — Why Others Matter Salvation, God's character, and the theology that sends you toward wounded people.
Part Two — What Others Reveal Four perspectives the parable exposes in you: people, possessions, priorities, and proximity. Then the voice of the wounded man himself.
Part Three — What Others Require of Me Compassion, loving your neighbor, and loving God as the foundation beneath both.
Part Four — What Others Need The final command Christ gave the lawyer, and gives to you: Go, and do thou likewise.
Part Five & Six — Big Lessons and Calvary Closing Lines A condensed statement-by-statement summary of every chapter, built for small group discussion, Sunday School, or personal review. Every chapter's closing line on Calvary, gathered in one place for reflection.
Why This Book Is Different
It is thorough. Fourteen full chapters, not a devotional skim.
It is usable. Discussion-ready summaries in the Big Lessons appendix make this ready for small groups, Sunday School classes, and church studies.
It is preachable. Structured for pastors and missionaries who want to teach this material in sequence.
It is Christ-centered. Every chapter closes with the same searching line: No man can truly visit Calvary and... By the final page, you will have heard it fourteen times.
It is built on the King James Bible. Every text and every application flows from the Authorized Version.
Who This Book Is For
Pastors and missionaries preparing a series on compassion, missions, or the Good Samaritan.
Small group leaders who want a ready-made study with discussion questions built in.
Sunday School teachers looking for a semester-length curriculum on loving others.
Any believer who wants to move past a Sunday School memory of this parable and into a full, honest confrontation with what it demands.
From the Book
"A priority is not merely what you say is important. It is what becomes important when something else must be set aside."
"The wounded man was not a distraction from obedience. He was the opportunity for obedience."
"Locality puts the need on the map. Vicinity puts the need in your sight. Proximity puts the need within your reach."
"We go because He came. We do because He gave. We love because He first loved us."
