Great reminder that God is a bigger God and always MORE

I think must have got a strong impression of God sometime back before I can remember, maybe from my mother, maybe from Sunday school. It seems now I’ve been trying to find it again ever since.

I really love your closing sentence, “We’ll never totally understand God, …”

The quotes from the book are pretty good too. That story in Genesis of Jacob wrestling with God really resonated with me. Why do we do it?

“My crushed dream was an invitation—actually, an offer I couldn’t refuse—to recognize that I had been laboring under a small view of God.” Yes! I am learning the same. Another book for my list! Thank you for your recommendations!

I think we all grow up with some idea of God that we get from our parents and others, but when we go to scripture, we get a true representation of God. Yes, our experiences do make it more real for us, but I believe the Bible still tells us all we need to know about who God is. We may have to read passages over and over before we “get it” and sometimes we won’t “get it” in places, but that’s where trust comes in and leaning on the Holy Spirit to lead. This book sounds interesting. It’s really true that when something happens to challenge our view of God, it really does change us. God is so much bigger than any of us imagine! Blessings to you, Lisa! Thanks for sharing all these interesting book reviews.

Thank you for all of these book reviews, Lisa. I love how you can just take what is helpful and yet keep reading if you get lost. When I can’t get into a book, I stop reading it, so I appreciate you sharing what you learn. 🙂 Thank you for the encouragement to stay awake to God’s presence in our everyday lives and to continue to move forward in God’s love. Love and blessings to you!

So true! “We see God better after the struggle.” When I look back, I can see how He was always working things out for me. I must trust He is continuing to do so. I agree with what Pete said “other blown elbows would come.” For some reason, I keep thinking I might get a break from further disappointments, but that is not really how life is in this world. It will be in the next!
