While many recent books have addressed the difficulties of maintaining a deep, intimate relationship with God, White’s contribution offers remarkable clarity of thought. The founding pastor of Mecklenburg Community Church and author of several books on spirituality structures his discussion around the “Great Commandment”: to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and then to turn that love outward to others. He begins with the struggles of the heart, addressing the problem of evil and the scandal of the gospel’s exclusivity, then moves on to conflicts of the soul, the mind, the “strength” and relationships with others. He candidly describes often-denied doubts that believers have in areas both major (the silence of God, the will of God) and minor (the fact that there are people we just don’t like). Without giving simplistic answers to any of these questions, White provides insightful and encouraging guidance for all of them. He also contributes extremely helpful distinctions (e.g., different uses of the word “tolerance”) that thoughtful Christians will be quoting for years to come. The book’s moving, well-crafted illustrations-from the faith wrestlings of a young Mother Teresa to a moving story from Corrie ten Boom’s childhood-give color and depth to the discussion. Reflecting a breadth of knowledge, this book will appeal to more educated readers, yet its accessibility and brevity will give it a much wider audience.

Product Description

One of Christianity Today’s Books of the Year!

We give ourselves to God and then struggle profoundly with the relationship. We are drawn in and then want to flee in fear. We move from faith to doubt, trust to confusion, intimacy to a feeling of abandonment. Coming to faith is like falling in love. It can be a head-over-heels rush to the altar or a slow acceptance that slips into a heartfelt embrace. Either way, eventually romance crashes headlong into reality. Often we make things worse either by feeling guilty about our struggles with doubt or by trying to dismiss them as unimportant or insignificant. We may even become resentful that God does not simply step in to clear up our confusion.When we find ourselves in any of these predicaments, the only way out is to face our uncertainties about God–deliberately and directly.In Embracing the Mysterious God James Emery White explores these struggles we all face–struggles of heart, soul, mind and strength. And struggles to love our neighbors as ourselves. Here you will find your tough questions about God addressed. Better still, you will find the way to renewed faith.

Ninety percent of strokes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular disease are preventable—in part through proper diet. It has been advised that we keep our fat calories per day to a maximum of 30 percent—and less than 30 is even better. The idea that low-fat food can taste good has always seemed an impossibility—but it can taste just as good or better than the fat-laden meals of days past. This book is packed with many delicious recipes, tips, and ideas for achieving body fitness, plus inspiration and information on how you can enjoy developing a healthy diet and lifestyle!

Leaders are summoned. They are called into existence by circumstances, and those who rise to the occasion are leaders. That is Leonard Sweet’s revolutionary definition of leadership that he so compellingly makes in his new book, Summoned to Lead. This book approaches leadership as an art form as well as a science, and employs the legacy of Ernest Shackleton, the famous polar explorer, as a means of helping readers develop a leadership cachet and a leadership soul.

Originally published in the U.S. by Zondervan, the publisher of the best selling “the Purpose Driven Life.”
