COME BACK SLOW
Finding Your Way Back to Jesus Christ One Step at a Time
Have you ever felt distant from God?
Have you ever wanted to come closer to Jesus Christ but felt overwhelmed by expectations, discouraged by mistakes, or unsure where to begin?
You are not alone.
Many people believe they must return to God perfectly. They think they need all the answers, complete confidence, or a flawless past before they can move forward in faith. But throughout scripture, the Savior repeatedly met imperfect people exactly where they were and invited them to take the next step.
In Come Back Slow, A. Howard North explores powerful accounts from the Bible, the Book of Mormon, and modern revelation to show how Jesus Christ patiently guides His children along the covenant path. Through the stories of the prodigal son, the woman taken in adultery, Zacchaeus, Thomas, Enos, Alma the Younger, and many others, readers discover that spiritual growth is often a journey rather than a single moment.
Using relatable illustrations from hiking, walking difficult trails, and traveling mountain paths, this inspiring book teaches that discipleship is not a race against other people. Some move quickly. Some move slowly. What matters most is moving toward Christ.
Inside this book, you will discover:
• How to overcome the fear of not being "good enough"
• Why the Savior is patient with imperfect disciples
• What scripture teaches about gradual spiritual growth
• How faith can begin even when questions remain
• Why comparison often hinders discipleship
• How grace and effort work together
• Why one small step toward Christ matters
Whether you are returning to church activity, strengthening your testimony, helping a loved one find their way back, or simply seeking greater peace in your relationship with Jesus Christ, this book offers hope, encouragement, and scriptural guidance for the journey.
You do not need all the answers tonight.
You do not need to become perfect tomorrow.
Just keep moving toward Him.
One step at a time. LDS Book
