God’s Will


June 27, 2005

Like Tony Morgan I have begun reading “Understanding God’s Will” by Klye Lake. I sent a copy to my best friend a few months ago because he had begun to ask where God was leading him. I had bought two copies but I leant the other copy to a young woman in our church who was asking the same question. But she has never been back since our converstaion and so I had to order another copy. As I just finished the first section of the book about the Myth of God and His Will Lake says,

“An alternative is long overdue, an alternative that always places relationships with God at the center of all of our realities. We need an alternative that never elevates God’s will above God. And we need an alternative that leaves us feeling as though we’ve returned to the heart of scripture and historical Christianity, not an alternative that leaves us guessing whether the Scriptures would echo the same.”
