A Place For God: Navigating Ti

Where are you?

Today, your favourite maps app will give you your location down to a greater level of detail than ever before. But do you really feel like you know where you are?

Major cultural shifts over the past generation have left us feeling disorientated; constant connection has left us feeling dislocated. And many of us are searching for something we can’t seem to find. Could the problem be that we have lost a place for God?

Pete Nicholas invites you to explore the big questions asked by each generation from those of origin and identity to happiness and hope, arguing that by reinstating God’s centrality in our lives we can find a sense of rootedness, peace and the answers we’ve been looking for.

Featuring a foreword by Timothy Keller, author, speaker and church leader.

Active author, regularly speaking on these topics. As shown by the rise of popularity in platforms like Ted talks, today there is a real hunger to grapple with the ‘big questions of life’, particularly amongst the Millennial generation. Finding our place doesn’t seek to be the last word on these questions but it does hope to get the conversation going and show that Jesus Christ is as relevant for our world as he has ever been. Potential column/ coverage in Evangelicals Now. Potential endorsement from Tim Keller, Andy Crouch, Rico Tice, Hugh Palmer, Vaughan Roberts, Glynn Harrison and many more Potential Home Groups material Some books (like Simon Blackburn’s ‘The Big Questions’) are informative but mainly lay out the various philosophical options leaving us informed but no less resolved. Others (like Stephen Hawkings ‘Brief Answers to the Big Questions’) very clearly come from a secular scientific perspective that whilst widely respected, ultimately struggles to do justice to the depth of the issues.
