Will the Real God Please Stand Up: Healing Our Dysfunctional Images of GodPaulist Press, 1991 - 76 من الصفحات This book heals our wounding images of an angry and unfriendly God. It offers us a fresh appreciation of a faithful God who loves us regardless of our response, and who continuously forgive us, consoles us, and nurtures us as we struggle along in life. With a biblical approach, this author provides the basic foundation with which to convey God's fidelity. She then teaches us how to use prayerful images to replace the symbols of God that no longer work for us in a personal way. |
