This profound little book encourages us to set aside our limited expectations, and to fall in line with God's. Human beings like organization, structures, plans; God grows people. We ask for a budget; God offers us love. If you are aiming at relationship rather than performance, how do you measure effectiveness? How do you write a mission statement, yet allow God space to act out His plan rather than yours? What does Divine Order look like? Faith in God involves risk, and the possibility that God will do something entirely new. Starting with the seven days of creation, Danielle considers how God's world resembles A Beautiful Mess - vibrant, full of colour and pulsating with life, but not about propositions. The Christian life is organic, not prescribed. We were not created to work, but to be fruitful. We need to be willing to put ourselves in a position where only God can do what needs to be done, and to have the humility to let God show us what that is.
Les mer
God's divine order is so much bigger than our plans. You don't build a life or a church, you grow it. A book about expecting more.
“Christians are holy troublemakers, God's counterculture, people who refuse to accept the world as it is and insist on moving the world towards what it should be. This book is not just about how God can fix your life... it's about how God might mess you up. A Beautiful Mess is a beautiful book, coming from a woman whose life and work I have long admired.”
