" There are some things about God that, were I to stop believing
them, my world would change color, my hope would turn sour, and the
meaning of my life would be yanked inside out. "
In this moving spiritual memoir, finished shortly before his
death in December 2002, Lewis Smedes, beloved teacher and
best-selling author, takes readers through his own lifelong walk
with God.
In "My God and I" Smedes gives voice to both the struggles and
the joys of his life, revealing his deepest questions to a God who
would never let him go and expressing his eager anticipation of the
day when, as God promises, all things will be made new. It has been
God and I' the whole way, Smedes writes. Not so much because he has
always been pleasant company. Not because I could always feel his
presence when I got up in the morning or when I was afraid to sleep
at night. It was because he did not trust me to travel alone.
Yet "My God and I" is more than Smedes's personal account of his
travels with God -- the theological odyssey that was his life. Like
all his writings, this book also models and instructs. Through his
honest confessions on the nature of Christian faith, Smedes offers
gentle insights not just about God but also about human life and
how it can and should be lived. And for those interested in the
particulars of Smedes's professional life, these pages include many
anecdotes by one whose career was linked closely with shifting
currents in modern theology and with some of America's premier
educational institutions.
Above all, "My God and I" will provide a source of spiritual
comfort to those who, like Smedes, continue to strive after the
presence of God. It will also be a cherished good-byefor the many
people who have been touched by the wisdom, wit, and charm of Lewis
Smedes.
