Distorted images of God.
Do you fear that God is angry with you? Do you wonder if God is really for you? If God really loves you?
Deep down many of us believe that we are not good enough, and never will be good enough, to have a meaningful relationship with God. This is because we have been spiritually trained in ways that have led to a distorted and inadequate spiritual life.
The result is a toxic combination of fear and shame. We may try to get it right. We may try to control ourselves and others. We may try to please God and to earn God's love. But after a while we find ourselves exhausted and discouraged, and we may feel even more alienated from God.
Jeff VanVonderen, one of the featured interventionist on teh A&E television show Intervention, along with his coauthors Dale and Juanita Ryan, is prepared to offer help. The authors understand this problem because they have been there both personally and professionally. And they are prepared to help you rebuild your spiritual life. If you find yourself living out a burdensome and unfulfilling spirituality, this book is for you. If you are longing to have a relationship with God that works, this book can show you the way.
If your relationship with God - your spiritual life - has been uneasy, complex, confusing, or hurtful, then this book was written for you. It is not, however, just about you; it is most definitely about us, the authors, as well...
Thankfully, we are also coming to know what it is like for our spirituality to be a precious, grace-filled, and practical resource in life...
We know that peace that comes when our spirits are freed from fears, shame, and resentments...Experiencing God's grace and love, however, does not mean that we are not longer vulnerable to destructive spirituality.
....Even in our moments of deepest spiritual brokenness, when we can see nothing but ruin, God sees opportunities for blessing. Jesus put it simply: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5:3
