God In Our Arms

Embracing The Life You Were Created For

Beschreibung

The God who spoke life into being gave us his Son, Jesus, the Christ. God manifested his love for us by allowing himself to become utterly vulnerable, stepping into our reality. He longs to penetrate our hearts. We have only to say "yes." This is the central theme, beautifully explored, of God In Our Arms, a compilation of insightful sermons and short meditations by the Rev. Tom Hall, Pastor Emeritus of First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh. God In Our Arms explores the mystery of the all-powerful Creator willingly becoming a child and trusting human parents to meet his every need. It invites readers to ponder how divine vulnerability paves the way for us to embrace the ultimate gift-LIFE, as God intended it for us. Each entry in this collection offers reflections on why we fall short of who we were created to be and then dares us to truly live-as followers of Jesus Christ. Searchers as well as lifelong believers will find this book a resource for better understanding the core of the Christian faith and growing in it. Praise for God In Our Arms: "The Rev. Tom Hall's excellent and beautifully written devotional God In Our Arms: Embracing The Life You Were Created For, is a rich treasure chest of Biblical insights applied to the twenty-first century world, providing inspiration and hope for ordinary people yearning to follow Jesus Christ in the drama of their lives. Rev. Hall's text-drawn from his profound First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh sermons-should be read slowly in order to capture every gem of his powerfully creative wisdom. God in Our Arms is destined to be the modern equivalent of Oswald Chambers's famous devotional My Utmost for His Highest." Rev. Dr. Lawrence M. Stratton, Director, Stover Center for Constitutional Studies and Moral Leadership, Waynesburg University "Tom Hall's sermons are food for the mind and the soul. They open us to the grace that can infuse our hearts, if only we let it." Keith Burris, columnist and former editor of the Toledo Blade and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Tom Hall is unique in his commitment to both spiritual formation and leadership development. His leadership expertise and effectiveness has had a positive impact on both his church and our city. I am so pleased that his wisdom and insights are captured in this book!" Lee Kricher, President, Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation "As a consultant, I partnered with Tom Hall as he led First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh. Tom is passionate about making the Good News relevant to everyday life. God in Our Arms is a beautiful collection of meditations that will inspire you to say yes to God." Kevin G. Ford, Chief Catalyst at Leighton Ford Ministries
