With refreshing humor, a conversational style, and a blending of
conventional and original thought, author Jonathan Bryan observes
that we alienate ourselves from God and one another; nonetheless,
God retrieves us. In exploring this paradox, Bryan examines several
quandaries of religion such as the meanings of "God," where we came
from, why things go wrong, how to find an overarching meaning of
the Bible, the policies of the biblical God, what happens next, and
what to do about all this. The answers, both challenging and
interesting, lead to what Bryan calls a "retrieval spirituality."
Bryan's whimsical observations of his Labrador retriever, Jocko,
provide analogies for explaining that just as Jocko retrieves
sticks, so does God retrieve us, invite us to return to God. And
just like Jocko, God remains faithful to us through thick and
thin.
It's a perfect book for those whose hearts yearn for a richer
spiritual life, for groups discussing God, the Bible, and
spirituality, and for anyone exasperated with ordinary religious
writings.
