    How to talk about Jesus in a way that connects with modern culture. As followers of Jesus, we know that the good news is deeply attractive. But we often fear that to those on the outside, it comes across as irrelevant or even repellent. Sometimes, the Christian worldview feels so out of step with everything else going on, that we don't know how to share our faith.  However, author Daniel Strange wants to show you that the connections are there - in fact, the longings that our culture cannot help but express are the very ones that Jesus fulfils.  Building on the work of theologian J.H. Bavinck, Dan reveals five recurring themes that our culture can’t stop talking about, or, as he puts it, the “five permanent ‘itches’ that in our work, rest, and play, we have to vigorously scratch.” From TV to books to social media, these are the questions we can't stop asking and the tensions we can't stop wrestling with - and Jesus speaks powerfully into each one.  This book will help you to spot these connections in our culture, excite you about how Jesus makes sense of humankind’s deepest questions and longings, apply them to your own life first, and then equip you to speak of him to others in a way that is truly magnetic.

    The Journey of God is an exploration into the rich tapestry of Christianity, designed to captivate both mind and soul. The Journey of God transcends traditional theology writing, weaving a compelling narrative that journeys through the six pivotal acts of the Christian story―Creation, Fall, Nation, Redemption, Church, and End. Each chapter unfurls as part novel, part sermon, and part philosophical inquiry, challenging listeners to engage with deep theological questions in the order they naturally arise. 
     
     
     
    Through this unique format, you'll explore the complexities and nuances of Christian thought from multiple perspectives. While blending literature, philosophy, science, history, comedy, drama, and more, The Journey of God explores topics such as: Does science challenge faith? Why do humans have so much capacity for good and for messing things up? Is there objective right and wrong, and who decides? Why did Jesus have to die? What's the point of the church when so many people have been hurt by it? Do all religions teach the same basic things? 
     
     
     
    Whether you're a layperson, scholar, or minister, The Journey of God invites you to deepen your understanding and devotion while reflecting on the intertwined narratives of faith and reason.

    Welcome to summer on Cape Cod—a place where the sweet life just might be  
    possible . Dawn Dixon can hardly believe she's on a groomless honeymoon on beautiful Cape Cod . . . with her mother. Sure, Marnie Dixon is good company, but Dawn was supposed to be here with Kevin, the love of her life (or so she thought). Marnie Dixon needs some time away from the absolute realness of life as much as her jilted daughter does, and she's not about to let her only child suffer alone--even if Marnie herself had been doing precisely that for the past month. Given the circumstances, maybe it was inevitable that Marnie would do something as rash as buy a run-down ice-cream shop in the town's tightly regulated historic district. After all, everything's better with ice cream. Her exasperated daughter knows that she's the one who will have to clean up this mess. Even when her mother's impulsive real estate purchase brings Kevin back into her life, Dawn doesn't get her hopes up. Everyone knows that broken romances stay broken . . . don't they? Welcome to a summer of sweet surprises on Cape Cod--a place where dreams just might come true.
