“What if the way to God thrives by allowing our experiences in life to have their say? - from the mundane to the cosmic and everything in between. What if the experiences of our lives in this evolving cosmos are a gift to help us see a bigger and better God, rather than a long exam to prove ourselves worthy? And when our lives bring anguish and suffering, what if a gentle way can be opened to us to see them also moving us toward a bigger vision of what we mean when we talk about God?”

LOVEEEEE!
New favorite deconstruction book. Enns talks on all the issues that have been the most challenging and pivotal in my deconstruction journey. He seems to highlight all the reasons that have made me resign to the idea that there is no going back to the way things were before. He shares beautiful expressions of God and has an encouraging writing tone. I especially loved the way he exhorted his readers that God delights when we wrestle with him in faith instead of being threatened or angered by our searching. He meets his people there, just like when he named Israel. Highly recommend to anyone going through a similar process.
