Astonished: Recapturing the Wonder, Awe, and Mystery of Life with God
In Astonished, Pastor Mike Erre calls
Christians away from simplistic formulas to honest and rugged faith
in the mysterious and unpredictable God.
God is more about deepening the mystery of faith, not removing
it. Jesus should get bigger the longer we walk with him. Life and
faith should grow to be more profound and wondrous, not less.
In Astonished, you will see how we are far more
comfortable with tips, steps and techniques for living, than we are
with ruthlessly trusting the mysterious God of the Bible. God asks
us to follow him into tension, frustration, and difficulty because
he wants our trust, not just our intellectual agreement. He calls
us to seek Him even as we live in awe of all that is yet to be
known about Him.
Astonished is an invitation to question in a culture
that wants answers, to wonder in a world with little mystery left,
and to believe in what is unseen and find it beautiful.
