Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Some of the most important people in the Bible have no name.A captive slave girl who sent a general to a prophet. A starving widow who fed the man of God with her last handful of meal. A boy who handed over his lunch. A woman who spent everything she had on two small coins. A criminal who confessed the truth from a cross. Scripture remembers what they did - while withholding what they were called.This is not an oversight in the text. It is a theology.In THE UNNAMED, Rev. Dr. Billy J.

The God who would not let a king sleep until a forgotten man was honored. The God who says to a people history tried to erase, 'I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.'This book was written for the overlooked - for the single mother stretched past her strength, for the caregiver no one thanks, for the faithful poor, for families walking the long road of mental illness, and for the children who grow up in homes where a parent cannot be the parent - the children who keep a household no child should have to hold, carrying burdens the world never sees.
