Seekers In The Hands Of An Elusive God

Some Christians experience the presence of God as readily as they feel a pleasant breeze or sunshine. For others, God’s presence is often much more difficult to find. Like the psalmists, we struggle with asking, “Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?” (Ps 10:1). At least part of the dynamic in this struggle lies in the fact that Scripture presents God as both everywhere and mysterious at the same time. As Paul told the sages of the Areopagus, “In him, we live and move and have our being,” yet it is God’s will that we “search for God, grope for him, and find him” (Acts 17:27-28). God is as present with his people as the tabernacle was with ancient Israel, and yet even the tabernacle was meant to illustrate the fact that God cannot be pinned down, contained, or controlled. We live in the tension of worshiping a God who is everywhere and yet must be sought.
Seekers in the Hands of an Elusive God explains the scriptural dynamic of this omnipresent but elusive God. It is when we fail to search for God that our view of who God truly is becomes distorted and our own spiritual health diminishes when our relationship with God lacks this pursuit. But how, then, are we called to seek God? This book considers a variety of avenues: in Scripture, nature, humanity, worship, silence, doubt, suffering, death, and joy. In all these ways, even those of us who wrestle with spiritual loneliness can join with saints of the past in pursuing the face of God.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
