Your God Is Too Safe: Rediscovering the Wonder of a God You Can't Control by Mark Buchanan
5.0
Of the thirty-four books that I have read this year, this book has pierced my heart in ways that none of the others did. I picked up this book by happenstance (it was the Lord's directing) in a thrift store for $1 while living in Indiana. I was not familiar with the author, but the title intrigued me and I purchased the book.
If you read this book, prepare for a challenging, convicting, inspiring, motivating, and yet honest look at the region called "borderland" that all of us too often live in. The illustrations and the way the book was put together completely grabbed a hold of me and didn't let go until the end.
Every chapter had a succinct truth that drove home different points. I aim to read through this again in the near future and meditate on its truths a bit more.
Made the list of the top ten Christian books I have ever read.
