If I could buy everyone in the world one book besides the Bible this would be the book. It has taken me 10 hours to sift through 37 pages, each word, each sentence is crafted in a way that you cannot help but see the glory of God. Altar in the World is literally revolutionary, God has wrecked me through it and i cannot wait for more in the pages to come.
The problem is, many of the people in need of saving are in churches, and at least part of what they need saving from is the idea that God sees the world the same way they do
Whoever you are, you are human. Wherever you are, you live in the world, which is just waiting for you to notice the holiness in it.
According to the Talmud, every blade of grass has its own angel bending over it, whispering, “Grow, grow.”
No matter how hard I try to say something true about God, the reality of God will always eclipse my best words.
I have no say about who is in and who is out. I am a guest here, charged with serving other guests.
Buy it, it will be up there with the best books you have bought for 10 dollars.
