The Ancient Story of God-With-Us

What is forming you? We often assume that our identities are formed and created only when we intend them to be. But what if our quest for discerning the deepest truths about ourselves, our God, and our world are already governed by appetites and ways of thinking that are so fixed in our collective imaginations, we don't even know that they're there? This book is aimed at exposing those hidden assumptions that have kept us feeling like God is distant while we remain divided, anxious, and afraid--despite our best efforts to overcome through private prayer and Bible reading. The Ancient Story of God-With-Us is about the good news that you don't have to think or pray your way out of this wilderness by yourself. Through our storied identity with God, we have been gifted deep wells from which to draw again and again as the Spirit woos us deeper into the inexhaustible mystery of the triune God-with-us. God is alive. We have nothing to fear.
