Out of the Question...Into the Mystery: Getting Lost in the Godlife Relationship Hardcover - 2004

by Leonard Sweet


From the publisher

How did we get the point, but miss the Person?
Christianity wasn't founded on a proposition. God sent Jesus to deliver a proposal: "Will you love me? Will you let me love you?" In fact, Jesus not only got on his knees to deliver this proposal. Jesus was nailed to a cross to deliver God's proposal. Because of Jesus, we can reach for God himself, not simply for more precise statements about God.
Propositions inform us, but God's proposal of love in Jesus transforms us. God doesn't answer every question, God invites us into a mystery. God's proposal of love is truly "Out of the Question...Into the Mystery." ""Faith is not simply a decision that is made or a commitment that is promised... Rather, faith is a new life that we practice. And that life is practiced in the context of relationship."" -Leonard Sweet
God made us for relationship. For up-close engagement. For the give-and-take that unfolds when two beings interact on a deeper level. God wants to be known, not just known about. Jesus invites you to follow him, not simply study him. God reaches out to you, tirelessly pursuing you-not because God is fact or doctrine or proposition, but because God is Love.
And when you discover the authentic life of trusting God and living in love-the GodLife relationship, as Leonard Sweet calls it-your priorities will shift from trying to nail down just the right doctrine to following the living Jesus every moment of every day. When you follow Jesus, you will learn how to love your enemies, care for the earth, relate to one another, and understand the invisible spiritual realm. In following Jesus, you will appreciate the bigger picture of God's truth and you'll beable to witness to your faith more powerfully. The daily practice of faith-versus the settledness of mere belief-will open your life to unimagined possibilities.
God's chief desire is to enjoy an honest, open-access relationship with you. In this fresh and provocative book, you will be introduced to the mystery and adventure of this GodLife relationship.
