pickGod: An Anatomy, by Francesca Stavrakopoulou (2022)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A reassessment of common ideas about the biblical God‘s body (or lack thereof) in light of parallels in neighbouring ancient civilizations.
Review: This book has a simple and incontrovertible premise: Since the Bible talks about God the same as neighbouring cultures did, there‘s no reason to think ancient Israelites believed God not to have a body. Cont.
Thank you for the goodies! Especially the bookmark just when I‘m looking for one! The note is sweet as well. ❤️
pickI‘m not sure why but I can‘t add the snapshot of my review. I really enjoyed reading this, even though it took me over, a year to get back to it. The questions at the end of each chapter made me think about what I‘d read and I got to journal my way through. I know this will help me get a better grasp of theology. I recommend it to Christians looking for a better understanding of this topic. #2025nfbookchallenge #theology #keepreading

pickThis is a great study into the Holy Spirit. Ryrie addresses so many facets of the Holy Spirit. If you have questions or are simply curious about the Holy Spirit then this book is a really good resource from a really good teacher.

My reading goals this year are to read at least 100 books. I wanted to make more of an effort to read nonfiction as well so I challenged myself to read one nonfiction book per month related to either theology, biography, or writing. I met the goal this month when I finished Tozer‘s “Divine Humilty”. The next book will be a challenge of challenges since I have been trying to read it for over a year. #tbr #nonfictionnotables #theology #christianlife
pickThis book is a great reminder to look for God in all of our everyday activities.
I surprised myself by highlighting a handful of lines.
bailedAnd that's a bail! Some interesting stuff, but a lot of stuff so over my head that I was just reading words with no meaning.
But, yay, got a bingo! 😁
