Publisher's Synopsis
This book is about searching for and being found by a God truly worth glorifying, beyond the morally deficient, world-destroying demi-gods whose images mythologies the world over have preserved for milennia and extol even today. It is about asking questions, especially of religious authorities for whom questions are all too frequently taken as signs of unbelief, and of not giving up when the questions are either answered badly or discouraged all together. The faith-conviction which guides its chapters, is that in the very scriptures and religious traditions which sometimes obscure it, there is also to be found the Light which illuminates and the Love which transforms the lives of earnest seekers everywhere. Believers and inquirers who are seeking a deeper understanding of what Christianity does and does not say about God, particularly those whose coming to faith has been made difficult by inadequately considered or downright perverse representations of God in its churches, will find encouragement and help from this book for making their own experiences of God's presence and absence a vital part of their own quest for meaning and truth in the here and now.
