With: Reimagining the Way You Relate to God

Stop Living Your Life Under, Over, From and For God and Start Living in Communion With Him.Endorsements:If we've grown weary of Christianity, ifÂ we find most any local church uninspiring, maybe the problem lies not in the ChristianÂ faith or these faithful bodies, but in our own disgruntled hearts.Â InÂ With, Syke Jethani tenderlyÂ unmasksÂ the clichÃ©dÂ posturing that too often masquerades as genuine communion with Christ.Â More importantly, he takes readers to the humble place they must occupy?in prayer,Â studying Scripture,Â with the Church?if faith, hope, and love are to truly mark our lives.Â Â -James H. Gilmore, author,Â The Experience EconomyMade of the stuff of spiritual classics and presented in simple, contemporary terms, Skye Jethani does each of us a great service in calling us to reimagine the way we relate to God.Â We so readily fall prey to living out distortions and reductions to our Christian faith?with disastrous consequences.Â You and I are far more than sinners, consumers, managers, and servants.Â We are dearly loved by God and made for eternal communion with him.Â Everything looks different when we live life in response to God's love.Â Â -Paul Louis Metzger, Ph.D., Professor of Christian Theology & Theology of Culture, Multnomah Biblical Seminary and author ofÂ The Gospel of John: When Love Comes to TownCleverly using four prepositionsâ€”under, over, from, andÂ for, Skye Jethani convincingly diagnoses the reigning paradigms of life?whether secular or religiousâ€”and shows how each one has captured some element of truth but in the end is deficient; Ultimately, they miss the most important thingâ€”real communion with the living God. Thus utilizing one final preposition,Â With, he lays out what it really means to know and experience communionÂ withÂ Godâ€”a life of faith, hope and love?the very things that we all desperately want and need. This is a helpful, encouraging, and inspiring book.Â Â -Jim Belcher, author ofÂ Deep ChurchIt doesnâ€™t matter, as old theologians were rumored to argue, how many angels can dance on a pinhead. But it does matter which preposition governs your faith?over, after, against, for, from, under, with. Who knew what huge worlds turn on such tiny words? Who knew what theological riches were laced into the bones of grammar? Skye has done a great service to the church. In prose elegant and clear, with insights keen and deep, he shows how everything changes with just one word: With. Itâ€™s a book I want my whole church to read.Â Â -Mark Buchanan, author ofÂ Spiritual RhythmWho knew that a preposition had so much influence? Skye's book will challenge the way that you think about God and faith digging deep into our motivations and heart issues. You can't read this book and not see yourself and others differently!Â Â -Margaret Feinberg, author ofÂ Scouting the Divine and Hungry for God
