Wrappers and Revelation

Más información sobre el libro

Religion has relegated the discovery of God to certain “holy” places- very narrow, very exclusive, very limited. The trauma begins when God discloses Himself outside the narrow legitimacy of the religious correctness we designed to contain Him. When the Revelation overflows the wrapper it is presented in; when the Gift stands in stark contradictory contrast to the instrument of its presentation the ‘fun’ begins. Running through the environment in which the growth of personal faith occurs is the stress of properly discerning the often conflicting relationship between the gifts of God and the boxes in which those gifts are presented. That stress-stretching challenge enlarges the capacity of the soul to receive that transcendent Reality that always overflows and refuses our best efforts of containment.
