Deep inside each one of us is a deep empty space. We work and
strive with great energy toward ideals and objectives that, in the
quiet of the night, when we are alone with our thoughts, we know
will never fill that space. This human "chafing point" is universal
and although we become quite accomplished at hiding it, it never
leaves us. It is always there, under the surface, this struggle to
figure out who we are supposed to be as humans, with each other and
with God. It is this most basic human struggle that author Phil
Needham addresses in "When God Becomes Small." This beautiful,
profound book looks with clarity and compassion at our human
misconceptions of God and of ourselves.
We seem naturally obsessed with more, bigger, and we despise
what is small, or less.
We make God out to be something God is not, we misunderstand the
greatness of God, and see God as gigantic, distant, remote.
At the same time, we make ourselves out to be smaller than we
are, and our lives less significant than they are. We let ourselves
off the hook, so that we can downgrade our self-expectations.
But Phil Needham does not leave us there. As the book unfolds we
see how God saves us from these misconceptions. And we learn how we
might follow God to the freedom of "becoming small.""
