Life can be summed up into two experiences; happy experiences, or, hurtful experiences. In our Christian experience, we are told that Christ is the cure to all life's ills. He is the way out of all our problems, and, in Him exists the quick and easy way to gain all of our personal desires. However well-intended these messages may be; how do they compare to the message of Christ calling Christians to a "cross-bearing lifestyle?" How does the message of "living out your best life" compare to a life called to endure hardship, various trials, and tests? In his book, "Path of Dirty Soles," Pastor Ray Robles provides a fervid, emotional, and heartfelt appeal to hold on to faith when life's "best" gets at its worse. This book holds the gripping testimony of how God is able to take that which is intended towards our worse and turn it to our great. Ray Robles also holds a Master's degree in Theology and Pastoral Care and Counseling. With a cumulative ten years of experience serving as a preaching and teaching pastor, while helping numerous of ministries in team leadership and ministry development, family counseling, and discipleship, Ray Robles is currently pressing forward as an evangelist speaking the truth of Jesus Christ at various churches and speaking events.
