Synopsis

A Down to Earth God: Devotionals for the Nature Lover is an inspirational non-fiction collection of earthy country stories illustrating scripture. Garry Genser humorously reveals his own weaknesses, inviting readers to more fully explore their own souls. In this process, simple scriptural truths come to life. Genser uses common daily experiences to capture vivid spiritual insights to help readers see God’s hand in their lives and to inspire them to a greater commitment to God’s will. A section of scripture follows each story, rather than preceding it, which invites dialogue. The scripture also reveals the moral of the stories with little exposition, so as not to turn the reader off by religiosity. The book would work well for family and small group devotionals. I>A Down to Earth God celebrates an amazing God who seeks out each one of us through the daily circumstances of our lives.

About this title

About the Author:

Garry Genser was torn from the oak forests and rolling meadows of Illinois when his parents relocated to Chicago to get work. He escaped to a Benedictine Monastery in the woods of Arkansas when a lady who cleaned the local priest's house referred him to a monk traveling the country, recruiting teenagers. After two years he rejected the monastic life to move back to Chicago and wrote his first novel in an unheated attic. Joining a cult, getting married, becoming a teacher then a business man, Genser found no peace until he surrendered to the God who created him. Genser now pastors a country church in a small Northern California town in Humboldt County.
