Böcker av Carol Bond Wagner

God never relents in His loving pursuit of us. He invades our broken and buried places deep within and orchestrates realities in our lives that we could never fathom on our own. Nothing is off limits to Him. He can and will accomplish the impossible. This is the story of Abraham. Father of our Faith. Chosen for greatness. And just as ordinary as the rest of us. A beautifully crafted narrative spiced with thought-provoking insights, God Is Out to Get Us: At All Costs strips away any false pretenses that Abraham's faith somehow came easily to him and reminds us that his story is really our story. We share in the struggles, fears, obstacles, and uncertainties he experiences throughout his faith journey because they mirror our own. Feeling our feet dirty with the dust of his wilderness, we, like Abraham, begin to recognize the driving force in all of our lives: the tenacious faithfulness of the God who is out to get us-at all costs. Includes reflection questions at the end of every chapter.

From the dust of the earth, God masterfully knits together the sinews of flesh and bone. He leans in close and breathes life into their nostrils. Sketching His very essence into the tapestry of humanity, He tenderly molds these beings into unique individuals who speak His language, wear His skin, and share His intricacies. This likeness forms an intimacy no other creature shares with God. Weaving together cinematic storytelling with engaging insights, God Is Out to Get Us challenges the false worldview that the God of the Old Testament is wrathful, strange, and unfair. Immersing ourselves in the scandalous and riveting lives of the ancient men and women who experienced this God firsthand, we will instead realize the great depth of His love, passion, and mercy toward us. If you've never read the opening chapters of Genesis-or if you've grown up hearing about Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah-discover these stories anew and encounter the wild and relentless pursuit of the God who has been out to get you-from the very beginning. Includes reflection questions at the end of every chapter.
