I've just picked up a book, one of my Sunday school classes is doing a study through it. And it is amazing...and the author has a beautiful way of turning a phrase and painting a picture. The hand of God is also in it...in the timing of when it came to me...and how and what will happen next will hopefully give Him joy and glory.
Anyhow, I felt compelled to put it up on my blog so my fellow friends and readers would have a chance to be intrigued and perchance go grab the book themselves, read it and we could discuss it in depth....something I like to do... :)
Chasing Daylight
Erwin Raphael McManus
ISBN 10: 0785281134
ISBN 13: 9780785281139
I've only just read chapter one....but even his acknowledgments were awesome. Here is a quote from the acknowledgments, "some moments are so big you cannot seize them by yourself...." and later, "...words cannot do justice to the level of gratitude I feel toward God who created us. What a gift He has given us. He created us to live, not simply to believe. To follow Him is to experience, to explore, to discover." Isn't that awesome?!
But in chapter one McManus talks about moments and I was enthralled...and I loved it. I have a feeling this book will be one that will be profound and amazing and if I could I'd buy everyone a copy and we'd sit and read it together...over cookies, and coffee or coke...and let the warmth of life flow between us all...all the roads we each have been on would converge in that room and what a beautiful vista that would be...and how awesome the stories we would tell as we shared and grew...and read a book together.
Sigh. If wishes were fishes we'd all need fins to swim in the ocean that would suddenly brim....or something like that...
Be well my friends and write soon. :)
