About the Ebook:
Sometimes I want to erase everything I
know about God that I learned from church, other Christians, Christian culture,
culture in general, movies, songs, and t-shirts. I want to fill that blank
slate with rich biblical truth, with what is actually in the Bible and what it
actually says about God. I fear that I am too often unaware of how He actually
is and in how He loves.
So I went on an exploration for God in
the Bible, inspired by A.W. Tozer's words in The Pursuit of God:
For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers [or readers] find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard [or read] the truth. The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.
As I read, I asked, “What does this tell
me about God and who He is?” I looked for clues about His character, His likes,
His dislikes, His way of acting. I didn't look for rules, principles, or bullet points, but for the living,
feeling, thinking, acting Person of God.
To my delight,
I found that what can sometimes seem like a mute, bleak, boring,
incomprehensible Bible suddenly exploded with color,
life, meaning, and even deeper wells to explore. God revealed Himself to be One with dimension and
complexity and beauty and power and gentleness. And, most of all, One who
loves.
Do you wonder how God really is too? Do
you read books filled with definitive statements about God and wonder if He is
really like that? Join me in my exploration through 31 Days of Love Letters: Searching Scripture for How God Loves. The
book guides your own search for facets of God’s love by leading you through devotional
readings in 31 different books of the Bible. Each reading begins and ends with
passages of Scripture for reflection and response.
In 31
Days of Love Letters, you will discover that:
·
God loves.
·
God loves you
personally.
·
God's love is plastered all over
the Bible, even in the little-read or little-understood parts.
·
Although mysterious, God’s love
is not a complete mystery. It is available to everyone who seeks Him.
