About this title

Synopsis

<p><strong>2018 <em>Creative Quarterly</em> Professional Graphic Design Runner-Up</strong></p><p>Who is God?</p><p>Many of us call God our Father, Lord, Savior, and Friend. But when we delve into the perplexing bits of Scripture, we discover a God who cannot be explained or predicted. Is it possible that we have missed the Bible’s consistent teaching that God is other, higher, <em>stranger</em>?</p><p>Krish Kandiah offers us a fresh look at some of the difficult, awkward, and even troubling Bible passages, helping us discover that when God shows up unannounced and unrecognized, that’s precisely when big things happen. <em>God Is Stranger</em> challenges us to replace our sanitized concept of God with a more awe-inspiring, magnificent and majestic, true-to-the-Bible God. </p><p>Allow yourself to be surprised by God as you find him in unexpected places doing the unexpected.</p>
