There are times when one is reading a book to the end only because of the time already invested in reading it, and a need to know the end. This book was one of those for me. A unique style of writing, even 'degenerating' to dropping the use of punctuation.The author writes mostly about his relationship with his father - a hero and monster, and a developing relationship with his Father (God) - although regarding the latter the mode of describing this was confronting for me. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Every one of us is both a hero and a monster, and the world we inhabit is both beautiful and twisted. We are shaken by changes, losses, gains, insights, desires, mistakes, and transitions. And just when we've gotten settled back down, things get shaken up again. This is the life we've been given. So how do we make sense of life's unexpected nature, find a way to embrace the tension, and live with a sense of peace despite pain? In this stunningly honest, compelling, and ultimately hopeful book, Josh James Riebock explores issues of trust, obedience, intimacy, dreams, grief, purpose, and the unexpected stops along the journey that form us into the people we are. In a creative way, he shows readers that pain and beauty are so inextricably linked that to lose the former costs us the latter. Those grappling with life's inconsistencies and trials will especially find a welcome resonance between their lives and Heroes and Monsters. Riebock both validates their experiences and challenges them to live beyond them in this ever-changing life. Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |

If God had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to his face,
If you were faced with Him in all His glory?
What would you ask if you had just one question?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make His way home?
Because in this book God does have a name. Josh calls him Jack. And he does indeed come down to earth to "hang" with Josh a number of times. For example they walk the the dog together, climb trees together visit the hospital to mention a few. So while I personally, enjoyed this strange and unusual way to get across God's message, I can't help but wonder how many people will be turned off and offended by this book's tone. ( )
