Transcending Mysteries: Who Is God, and What Does He Want from Us?

by Ginny Owens, Andrew Greer, Refraction

Overview

“We fell in love with Jesus. Then we had to decide what to do with God.” In Transcending Mysteries: Who Is God, and What Does He Want from Us? Andrew Greer and Ginny Owens take readers on a journey to answer the question: is the God of the Old Testament the same God we relate to and worship today?

As the most definitive written revelation of who God is, Scripture has always been vital to the stories of the Christian faith. The Old Testament has proved especially tough for those who have been persuaded by the gracious gospel of Jesus but also desire to surrender to a God they don’t fully comprehend. We adore the Son of God, but what about God the Father?

Using Old Testament stories Andrew and Ginny help Christ-followers reconcile a New Testament Redeemer with an Old Testament God and understand what God really wants from His people. They dialog back and forth as they share their own stories of struggle and surrender. Their comments are separated by speaker identifiers that are used throughout.

Features include:

• Old Testament stories that are completed in Jesus' message
• Dialog between Andrew Greer and Ginny Owens
• Music lyrics from Andrew and Ginny that illustrate biblical truths
• Thought-provoking questions for reflection or study
