In Where God Hides Liam Lawton explores the path to understanding God's presence, and poses the question of how we find spiritual consolation in challenging times. Describing his own experience of faith - and the struggles therein - he begins his journey with the Book of Ecclesiastes: 'There is a time for everything; and a season for everything under the sun.' In this book are many remarkable stories of divine revelation in ordinary human life, of people and events that have touched him over his years of ministry. 'I have found God hiding - sometimes camouflaged in the natural beauty of our planet, or the healer who is revealed in the Mayan foothills of Guatemala, or in the chance meeting of a grieving mother in a Dublin car park, or the God of great joy found in the poorest African slums. These stories and many more reveal a God who does not intrude upon human living but rather enters into the very depth of it and becomes present to those who wish for "eyes to see, and ears to hear". Here are stories of pain and beauty, stories of challenge and consolation, but, above all, inspiration. It is in great simplicity that great beauty is revealed, and maybe then and only then we might discover where God truly hides.'Other products from Rakuten Kobo Canada
