"I don't want my idea of God. I want God."-C. S. Lewis
Like Lewis, Jarrett Stevens wants to truly know and experience the living God, not some distorted and destructive image of the Almighty formed over the years. With wry humor and profound insights, Stevens searches to align his broken images of God with the images of God Jesus used in the Bible. Attempting to recapture the spirit of J. B. Phillips's classic, Your God Is Too Small, Stevens addresses questions his generation is asking about God and sorts through twelve different views of God-six destructive and six constructive.
God is not, for instance, a talent-show host, wincing as you struggle through life. He's not the cop around the corner waiting to catch you breaking the law. What if those destructive images were replaced with more positive ones-an equal-opportunity employer … or a neighbor you can call for help in the dead of night? These images come straight from Jesus' teachings and invite us into a new experience with the true and living God.
