Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Even for the religious, life is full of questions: What is faith Can my life be more satisfying How can I deepen my walk with Christ What does it mean to be happy These bubble and boil underneath the surface of our everyday life. And though we ignore them, we know they point us to realms of wisdom or even mystery-to something more.Author Mark Buchanan asked these same questions. 'I want more, God,' he prayed-and the answer was more than he was looking for. It was right there, hidden in plain sight among the syllables and syntax of a few words of advice from the apostle Peter. With time and experience, Buchanan learned to tease it out, this secret of more, and he wrote a book about it: Hidden in Plain Sight. The answer, he discovered, is an investigation of the cross. The answer is an excavation of the virtues. The answer urges us passionately to 'make every effort.' And, Buchanan tells us, the answer is worth it.…
