My book, “182 An Alphabetical Journey Among Words That Can Describe God” is out!!!

I’m pretty sure this is for real this time…

You are invited to join with me on the first volume of this, “Imaginative devotional of focus for those who are in the thick of it.”  This has been quite an adventure for my family and I as we looked deeply into the character of God.  His Love for us displayed through Jesus was the foundation of our wanderings.  Some of the septets were written for fun, others serious, still others were written while being lost in the wonder of God’s majesty.  Please understand this is a journey.  Again, it is not in specific alphabetical order like a dictionary, nor is it exhaustive like an encyclopedia.  It is a bit more haphazard than either of those.  If you can see it, there is eschatological joy, there is suffering amidst the everyday, there is mystery in the humble glance at the Divine, and there is hope for all mankind for, “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.

My hope for this book is that it encourages thought about God.  May it encourage the reader to look into His love and breathe deeply.  May it inspire others to create more avenues  of worship that can help to map out this landscape of interactivity with God.  He wants us to spend time with Him.  Looking to God helps all to be free from sin which ‘easily entangles’ Hebrews 12:1-2.    Thoughts born from looking intently on Him, like Psalm 139, have no limits to where they can go or how far.

Enjoy!
