ONE WITH GOD IBD

Sinopse

The deepest longing for humans is communion with the living, eternal God.áBut how does it happen? What gets in the way? And how does that communion define who we are, give us purpose, and show us what lies ahead for us? InáOne with God, award-winning author Pierce Taylor Hibbs leads readers on a conversational, poetic, and prayerful journey into the wonders of JesusâÇÖs great prayer for his people: that they may beáoneáwith him (John 17). Filled with discussion questions, reader resources, and prayers for group study,áOne with Godáinspires readers to chase after the one thing they canâÇÖt truly live without: peace with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ItâÇÖs only in a peaceful relationship with God that weâÇÖll find out who we are, why weâÇÖre here, and where weâÇÖre going.'A subject as wondrous as our Creator God and as breathtaking as the fact that we can experience true oneness with him deserves a treatment this inspiring, this biblically grounded, and this beautifully written.'á- Tim Challies, Christian pastor, blogger, and author of several books, includingáVisual Theology,áEpic, andáSeasons of Sorrow'One reason the modern emphasis on the self is so sinister is God made us for union with him. Union with the living God in Christ - almost too good to be true! - is a powerful tonic against the subtle, destructive spells of our age. Drink deeply of this book. That is, slowly, without hurry, and, as much as youâÇÖre able, without distraction. And do what God made us, as humans, uniquely for: meditate on God and marvel.'á- David Mathis,ásenior teacher,ádesiringGod.org, pastor, Cities Church, Saint Paul, Minnesota, author,áWorkers for Your Joy: The Call of Christ on Christian Leaders'One with Godáis a personal, poetic, practical and potent primer for spiritual growth. Herein Pierce Hibbs imparts theological nourishment to refocus, refresh and restore souls by deepening our understanding and experience of union with Christ.'á- Dr. Peter A. Lillback,ápresident, Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia'This book is a wonder-filled, thoughtful combination of rich theology, poetic expression, personal sensitivity, and spiritual devotion. It unfolds how to pursue God in the light of his pursuit of us. Read it and taste the love of God.'á- Vern S. Poythress,áDistinguished Professor of New Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminaryá'In some ways, this bookâÇÖs thesis is simple:áChase after God. What could be sweeter or more relevant at a time when we seem to be chasing anything and everything else.áThis is the message that can change our life and Pierce Hibbs has articulated it so thoughtfully here.'á- Michael Horton,áJ. Gresham Machen Professor, Westminster Seminary California
