Touching God: Experiencing Metaphors for the DivinePaulist Press, 2002 - 153 Seiten Touching God is a gentle invitation to an experience of God that is immediate and intimate. Drawing from both her own life and a range of sources, author Ellyn Sanna shows how the lived symbol is often more truly felt than the theology behind it. A profound awareness of this helps us counter a cold, abstract image of God and make all of life sacramental. |
