“I’ve always known I was supposed to be a God
believer, a God follower, a God lover, even a God proclaimer. But I didn’t know
I could be—should be—a God wrestler.” Life is beautiful…but it tends to be messy. Author and singer/songwriter Carolyn Arends reveals how God meets people in ordinary moments of life. These humorous, honest, passionate personal stories illustrate the mysterious ways God guides us. "Once I entered a little way into the Mystery of God, there was no going back. I could no longer list all the things I did not understand about God as threats to my faith—instead, they became the primary evidence that God was, in fact, God…and that I was, in fact, not. I could endure the tension, sometimes experienced as doubt, and believe anyway. And here was the most radical part: I could believe not only in spite of but also in some ways because of my unanswered questions. I discovered a new way of breathing…and believing." This is a re-release (with new introduction) of Living the Questions. |
