Give Your Life A Lift

In his popular devotional style Herman Gockel here creates 75 brief portraits of how the Gospel fits people in today's harried world. Using narrative illustrations from his own reading and experience, the author invites readers to review their values and to "cultivate the daily awareness that we are in the hands of the Almighty." Easily understood, these "word pictures" grow out of contemporary needs and portray Scriptual truths with fresh clarity. The author senses the clutter of modern life, pricks convenient illusions of security, and applies the "now" of the Gospel to this piercing view of the human condition: "What our broken world needs today more than new treaties and missiles is new people who have been transformed by the redeeming power of God." These modern parables offer a variety of inviting meditative moments for all ages. A topical index gives those who teach, preach, and lead devotions a ready source of illustrations from a master of the devotional pen. --- from book's back cover
