When God's Plan Is Unclear What in the world is God doing? It's
easy to wonder this. We are living in an unfolding story, and it's
hard to hold on when difficult circumstances linger, or your
deepest prayer hangs in the air, seemingly unanswered. Thankfully
the Bible is filled with people who experienced the same thing.
They had to learn to trust God's way and timing--and their stories
give us insights to live that way too. Mining often-overlooked
passages of Scripture, Laurie Polich Short has unearthed 30
practical, encouraging gems of wisdom found in the faith and lives
of biblical heroes to help you * see more of God's work as it
unfolds in your life * have hope in circumstances that previously
felt hopeless * be more comfortable--and possibly even excited--to
lean into the unknown Here is your compass to living your story
well when the way forward is unclear. "Why, God? What are you
doing, God? Questions at the crossroads of faith and doubt can lead
us to dead ends or to new vistas. Laurie's brilliant, biblical
insights will help you see the map from God's mysterious
perspective."--JOHN BURKE, New York Times bestselling author of
Imagine Heaven
The roots of African American spirituality arise from the African
origins of the enslaved who were brought to the West in chains.
Flora Wilson Bridges explores these "African retentions" from their
manifestations in Africa, through their presence in the slave
communities of the American South and in Black churches today. The
unique spirituality that arose from these retentions influenced
many prominent black leaders including Howard Thurman, Martin
Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. In a fascinating chapter, Bridges
also shows how these African roots inform Black film, literature,
and art.
