Produktbeschreibung

I remember going to seminary thinking that I would find God there. But I didnt. I read peoples thoughts about God in books and wrote papers on their thoughts, but I never actually met God in seminary. Where I met God was in my encounters with other people. Not really surprising when you stop to think of it. Of course, we are more apt to encounter God through other people because God incarnated as one of us in Jesus. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth. Consequently, it is through other people that we are most likely to catch a glimpse of God just as others encountered God in Jesus. Throughout the years of my ministry and life, that has been my continuing experience. I have also met God through my own failures and losses, met God when I went through my divorce, even met God when I was in depression. God came to me through others who came to me and offered hope. But I never met God because of what someone else told me I should believe about God or in any doctrine about God.

Autorenporträt

Steve McClelland born and raised in the Midwest has lived in Jersey since 1981. He and his wife Dotty have lived in Bergen County for nearly two decades. They have four beautiful daughters who are the delight of their lives. Steve describes his theology this way: "Some people see Jesus as a dogma to be defended or a theology to be espoused. I simply see Jesus as the one who marks my way, tells me the truth and offers me an abundance of life." Steve enjoys photography, all things Apple, travelling, hanging out with family and friends. He enjoys talking about religion and politics - all the things that you are not supposed to talk about - he likes talking about. Steve is a third generation in his family to serve as a Presbyterian pastor, which according to his father, "demonstrates an incredible lack of imagination on his part. "
