Where the Rivers Flow

Scott Walker’s Where the Rivers Flow is a memoir of the author’s growth from a childhood acceptance of God to a maturing Christian commitment. But this is more than one man’s story. It is a study of the significant factors that contribute to the growth of faith for all believers. Walker draws on the stories of his own faith development to illustrate his conviction that faith grows in the convergence of many 'rivers' or contributing factors into one strong force for God.

Where the Rivers Flow is an invaluable source of insight for anyone who is seeking to integrate the realities of life with personal faith. College and seminary students who are encountering critical religious studies for the first time are likely to find this book especially helpful. It also serves as an excellent tool for pastors, teachers, counselors, and small-group leaders.

Scott Walker is the pastor of First Baptist Church of Waco, Texas. He is a graduate of Mercer University, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and received an Ed.D from the University of Georgia, specializing in adult development and adult education. Dr. Walker has served as an adjunct professor at the George W. Truett Seminary at Baylor University and in the Religion Department of Wingate College, teaching courses in human development and faith development. He is a lecturer and speaker in a variety of venues and is the author of eight books.

"As an early adolescent, Scott Walker aspired to be well-rounded. He shortly relinquished that aspiration, but over the next twenty years the vicissitudes of life and the work of the Spirit molded him into a well-rounded theologian. Those suffering their own vicissitudes in seeking a fully mature Christian faith will likely find this work consoling."
