God & Odd - Something Weird's Happening on My Way to Spirituality (Paperback)

Come inside my struggling spiritual world. In God & Odd: Something Weird is Happening on My Way to Spirituality you'll find 85 short essays that share insights, humor, setbacks, questions, solutions and struggles as I zigzag my way toward God. What would the Apostle Paul say if he knew my local church? Why did raking leaves remind me of God? How is it that facts are not always the truth? How would Dr. Suess have written about the Crucifixion? Why can't we ever sing Ray Charles in church? These are among the world-shattering questions that wrestle me to the ground (I relate to you, Jacob.) You see, God's always speaking. I'm still learning to listen. Through these reflections on my spiritual journey you may gain some wisdom on how to avoid pitfalls that I've endured. But here's my confession. Any glimpses of truth, touches of compassion or moments of laughter aren't from me. The rich and fertile parts are from Him. So He has me present you with an antidote to gossip. He lets the Christian buried deep inside me scream for help. He reveals the four stages of parenthood. God tells me what stores the mall would have if it was truly His mall. Please enjoy. Think. And inch forward toward Him. He's calling you.
