| Publisher Description: A collection of essays by various authors reflecting on what they would ask God, or on the very concept of questioning god. Each essay is accompanied by a portrait of the author drawn by David Liverett. "The intent of this book is to provide opportunity to ask questions: questions which will stretch you; questions which will strengthen you; questions which will sustain you as you deal with life. Use this resource in small groups, classes, and conversations to lead you to a deeper relationship with God. As you travel the path of growing in grace, be sure to walk with others who may shed light on your path." "Few like hard questions because those questions push us, often, into places we'd just as soon not go. We struggle most with those who bring us face-to-face with God-or at least how we think about God. We suppress them, but they won't go away. This book can help you-wherever you are on the journey. Out of his own challenging journey, David Liverett helps us all to think more deeply and passionately, whether in the quiet of our studies or in our noisier journey with others, about life's perplexities. I recommend this book as a guide with all kinds of uses: for individuals who are trying to live with them now, for groups of all sizes who are seeking to live faithfully and honestly, for Sunday school classes-or for anyone who just likes to read about faithful living." In these pages you will encounter a faith that bridges across unanswerable questions to a relationship beyond question. You will feel the agony and pain of believers who've struggled mightily with life's biggest questions without becoming cynical or despairing; who think if Jesus himself once cried out, "My God, why have you forsaken me?" then it's no betrayal of faith to have their own questions for God." |
