"I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve . . . I used to not like God because God didn't resolve But that was before any of this happened " In Donald Miller's early years, he was vaguely familiar with a distant God. But when he came to know Jesus Christ, he pursued the Christian life with great zeal. Within a few years he had a successful ministry that ultimately left him feeling empty, burned out, and, once again, far away from God. In this intimate, soul-searching account, Miller describes his remarkable journey back to a culturally relevant, infinitely loving God.

These sections are enhanced by brief, personal meditations woven throughout.

Grounded in biblical tradition but with clear focus on Ignatian spirituality, this book offers a fresh approach to becoming a friend of God and understanding this special relationship..

The old Yiddish proverb, “We plan, God laughs,” expresses a truth everyone can relate to. At every stage of life we make plans, setting out where we want to go and imagining what we will be like when we have “arrived.” But things have a way of turning out not quite as we hoped or expected.

In WE PLAN, GOD LAUGHS, Sherre Hirsch argues that too often our plans are limited to ones we think up at bedtime, or are devised by our parents, or by what looks good on a résumé. Addressing serious spiritual issues, Hirsch takes readers through ten basics steps for formulating a plan that reflects who we are now and who we want to be—a plan that is alive, organic, and in sync with God.

Hirsch teaches the importance of letting go and recognizing that even the most ordinary life is extraordinary in the eyes of God. She makes no foolish promise that life will turn out as we plan, but shows that with hope, faith, and belief, we can change our lives for the better and make a positive difference in the lives of others.

This book contains some rare combinations: first, an author who is as concerned with conceptual clarification as he is with the absolute truthfulness of the biblical text; second, an argument that avoids the common “either-ors” and contends for the importance of both divine sovereignty and divine solicitude in equal measure; third, an approach that espouses divine determinism and divine temporality. No One Like Him takes on the most intractable intellectual challenges of contemporary evangelical theology.
Kevin Vanhoozer, Research Professor of Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

John Feinberg judicially reconstructs aspects of the classical view of God in a way that proves more faithful than process and openness of God theisms. Arguably, this is the best study of theology proper in print.
Bruce Demarest, Professor of Theology and Spiritual Formation, Denver Seminary

Feinberg reads theology with a philosopher’s eye and writes it with a philosopher’s sensitivity to illogic and incoherence.
J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College

A magisterial work, one that truly deserves to be called a magnum opus….It reveals its author as…perhaps the only modern scholar whose work, like that of Carl. F. H. Henry, can compare in size, detail, comprehensiveness, and intellectual acuity with the accomplishments of the late Karl Barth…. It is not risky to predict that Feinberg’s No One Like Him will come to be a milestone in evangelical theology.
Harold O. J. Brown, Professor of Philosophy and Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
