Description:Whether youve ever been to church, read the Bible, or know about Jesus, youve probably had thoughts about God. You may have wondered whether God exists or what God is like. We get to know humans through personal experience, what others say about them, or what people say about themselves. The same is true with God.This book examines stories in the Old Testament to help us catch a glimpse of this God--and how God interacted with humans from the moment life began until Jesus came on the earthly scene. So if youre willing to gather in a coffee shop or sports bar--anywhere friends can talk about issues that make a difference--this might be the time to grab your favorite drink and jump in.About the Contributor(s):Brian D.
