"This road that we travel May it be the straight and narrow God give us peace and grace from you" -from the song "This Road" by Jars of Clay It was while singing to members of underground churches in China and Vietnam that Jars of Clay first realized the global impact of these words. "This Road," a song about the body of Christ, was originally written for Christians in the United States. But during their visit overseas, Jars of Clay realized the community of worshipers is so much larger than that! We are one body, with many parts-including brothers and sisters around the world who are daily threatened with imprisonment, beatings, even death, for their faith in Jesus Christ. The band now sees the song as an anthem of support for Christians everywhere, making it a perfect fit for the stories found in The Narrow Road. A multimedia CD of "This Road," with footage of Jars of Clay's trip, is included in the book along with a foreword by the band.
