If
you're like me, you ask God lots of questions. Heather did too. She
was surprised when God asked her a question. “What do you want me
to do for you?” She realized God was searching her heart, revealing
her inner desires.
As
she studied the Bible, she saw many questions that God asked. These
were not questions for God to increase His knowledge. They were
questions to break through the walls we create and to clean out the
deep places of the heart.
Here
are a few of the questions and the lessons Heather gleaned from them.
Using God's question to Cain about his brother, Heather writes about
our living in community and reflecting God's love. Using God's
question to Hagar, we learn that God always has a plan, even when all
seems lost. We learn how to explore the tools God has given us from
the question He asked Moses. From the question God asked His
disciples when the 5,000 needed to be fed, we see that God can do the
impossible with the meager offering we give Him.
Heather
has included a study session at the end of each section (nine total).
There are questions, Scripture to review, a verse to memorize, and
suggestions for journaling.
This
is a great book for women who want to know God better and learn how
to hear His voice. Even if you're a seasoned Christian this would be
a great book as it brings to your experience a new way of studying
Scripture. It will also give you a new perspective on familiar
stories.
If
you are willing to have God's questions penetrate the deep places in
your heart, you will benefit from this book.
