Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The notion of God we hold is what steers the ship. Our idea of God will always call the shots. We have this image of Jesus spending 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, but I suspect it was mostly God saying tenderly, You’re here! and Jesus not really knowing what to say in response.
#2 The God who never stops loving us is the same God who will not drop us. We must break the jar and transform our conception of God, so that it becomes fluid and evolving.
#3 God is always loving, compassionate, and kind. Our notion of God can atrophy and get stuck in our own arrested development. It can be hard to shake the transactional god who puts us in debt.
#4 The God we have is never embarrassed by us. It is always hard for us to believe in the nonjudgmental, loving, and merciful God, but that is the God we actually have.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The notion of God we hold is what steers the ship. Our idea of God will always call the shots. We have this image of Jesus spending 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, but I suspect it was mostly God saying tenderly, You’re here! and Jesus not really knowing what to say in response.

#2

The God who never stops loving us is the same God who will not drop us. We must break the jar and transform our conception of God, so that it becomes fluid and evolving.

#3

God is always loving, compassionate, and kind. Our notion of God can atrophy and get stuck in our own arrested development. It can be hard to shake the transactional god who puts us in debt.

#4

The God we have is never embarrassed by us. It is always hard for us to believe in the nonjudgmental, loving, and merciful God, but that is the God we actually have.

#5

We have to find the God who is interested in lavishing us with extravagant tenderness, and yet we believe that god is thinking we could just do a better job. We have to find this Upside-Down God.

#6

The God who loves us into things is not fickle, but we are. We allow this Tender One to fill us extravagantly, then we go into the world and speak the whole language of it, unrestricted, openhearted, and loyally dedicated to its entirety.

#7

We must constantly break things in order to receive God’s love. We must constantly project onto God how we would run things if we were in charge, but God doesn’t want us to be good, he only wants us to be joyful.

#8

We want an awakened heart. We want more than happiness, but nothing short of the vitality of joy. We play hide-and-seek from our true selves and Jesus waves us over to the wedding feast.

#9

God has little interest in adoration. We, on the other hand, would love it if we were on the receiving end of unbridled adulation. This is how we know it is our projection onto God, and we can get stuck there.

#10

We must not ever hide our fragility from the Tender One. The God we have is never enfeebled by anything. We want to give ourselves to the love that gives itself to us. We try to find our way to give God permission to reach us.

#11

God does not put things on our heart, but rather opens our hearts so we can know what we most deeply desire. Comfort with one another can lead to bright images of God.

#12

We must abandon performance when it comes to God, and instead walk into the arms of encounter. We must always feel God approaching us, eager to dance with us.
