God Treads Softly Here

Résumé du livre

Inspired by Old and New Testament passages, this beautifully written volume of verse and prose stories aims to open our eyes to God's great simplicity. Whether telling of a child soothing baby Jesus 'with a song which filled the night air, took up the darkness and flowed over into heaven'; or of Jairus who, in believing he had lost his daughter, found the kingdom of God; or entertainingly, of the discovery by the jobsworth gatekeeper to the heavenly city that God had long since decamped elsewhere, Trevor Dennis alerts us to the disarming gentleness of God. For this infinitely loving deity, who has always known our goodness, what we might be and the good we might become, can only by nature tread softly in our lives, longing to embrace us and awaken us to beauty beyond our dreaming.
