PLAYING IN THE DUST
…a walk through the creation stories
Let there be…
…the sound of God’s voice
Maybe you have heard people say that God spoke to them. Of they noticed God at work in their lives. Or even that God answered them. Have you? Would you like to hear the sound of God’s voice?
Or be called by your name?
If this is you, then David Runcorn's book Playing in the Dust is for you.
He invites us to see the God of the Old Testament anew. To meet God 'who pauses to gaze upon Adam, with steady, non- anxious curiosity.' To find in the creation stories '....a spirit of beginning, of play, awakening, and of endless possibility.'
Bite-sized chapters, coming in at just over 100 pages, allows him to offer reflections 'that travel alongside, and circle around, the Bible stories, pausing occasionally to take time with particular themes or insights.' He says he is hearing impaired which means he is 'used to listening carefully....checking often.' This he applies as he listens '...carefully to the storyteller.' His focus is on the creation stories in Genesis, of which there are 2. That fact alone should intrigue you. Why 2? Which one should we believe? I hear you ask.
David continues, 'I thought I knew them so well..' but have found (that) '....you can never read them too slowly.' Click on the image above to buy your copy. Join us as we study this book together in small groups.
