Inhaltsangabe

Oh to fly without a machine! How marvelous it would be: to be lifted up without any artificial, man-made contraption, without needing to sit aboard an aircraft, without needing to be strapped into a tight seat in a cramped row alongside other passengers. Air travel is amazingly possible, but it’s bound by the physical limitations of aerodynamics and airline regulations. The freedom with which flying teases our imaginations has boundaries.

Yet flying can occur beyond the “Friendly Skies”. The ability to be free and to rise up is not limited to using some sort of aircraft. We are not dependent on spending money for a ticket or going through security in order to fly. Spiritually speaking, the human soul has been flying for thousands of years.

Whether or not you like to fly, whether or not you are afraid of heights, you can be released from the things that hold you down and keep you grounded in the Slough of Despond (as Bunyan put it in Pilgrim’s Progress). If your heart longs to be lifted up and “soar on wings like eagles,” this book is for you. Flying is not a superpower that any person is born with. But freedom is a deep-seated desire of every human soul. Anyone can learn to fly. Unbuckle your seatbelts and prepare for takeoff.
