Synopsis
From the author of the bestselling novel
The Shack and the
New York Times bestsellers
Cross Roads and
Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God--assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love.
In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking--sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God's love.
Now, in Wm. Paul Young's first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God--this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we've presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false.
Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the "Papa" portrayed in The Shack--now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer--Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God's deep and abiding love.
