When we struggle isnt it nice to know that someone understands? God has given us a cloud of witnesses who understand. Biblical characters struggled with their faith; demanding bosses; unfairness; loss of jobs, family, and friends; and even loss of life, but they also found God faithful. Forty Years Later: Gods Faithfulness Across Generations looks at the stories of biblical characters and, more importantly, at their wilderness journeys as they struggled and grew in faith. God has a plan for His children. God is committed to building faith in His children. God uses struggles in the wilderness to train His children. The Israeli nation refused to enter the Promised Land the first time. Forty years later in the wilderness, they were ready to trust God. Joseph spent years as a slave and prisoner and saved his family from famine. Moses, one of the greatest leaders in history, suggested that God use someone other than himself to lead the nation out of Egypt. God leads, guides, provides, wins the battles, and is ever present with His chosen ones. In the struggles in the wilderness, we learn to know God as our leader, provider, and protector. When everyone else fails us, God remains faithful. God also teaches us, as His chosen, to help others on the journey He has for them. God chose us. God uses us. Forty Years Later will inspire you to see God in your struggles and find hope that He who is faithful has a plan.
God wants a relationship with us, a relationship that is rooted in His love and grounded in His forgiveness. He Walks with Us is about Gods relationship with us. It is about God applying His truths to our lives. The truths presented focus our attention on God and not ourselves. It is God telling us what He has already done for us, rather than us asking what we can do. The theme throughout Scripture is that man sins and God forgives. Man is unfaithful, and God is ever faithful. God walks with us even when we are walking down the wrong path. God wants us to have power over sin. He wants to build faithfulness in us. He wants to take us by the hand and walk with us down the right path. Gods walk with us begins with His living Word, Jesus Christ, and His written Word, the Bible. He Walks with Us examines both and uses both to explain Gods role. Ultimately, it is all God and none of us. The truth is that we are because He is. He is the author and perfecter of our faith. It is wonderful to know that we cannot fail when God has the responsibility for our success. He Walks with Us is how God will succeed at that good work that He has started within us.
Lowell L. Bennion is legendary in many circles. An LDS institute instructor and professor of sociology at the University of Utah, he was never content simply to quantify social ills or to preach against them but actively set out to correct what he could. He founded and directed the Teton Valley Boys Ranch, served as executive director for the Salt Lake City Community Services Council, and organized other charities.His heart was with the underprivileged. He detested Pharisaism and often quoted biblical passages on the topic adapted to a Mormon ear: As your treading is upon the poor, ... I hate, I despise your f(ast) days, and I will not (dwell in) your solemn assemblies ... Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear ... Woe unto them that are at ease in Zion. Bennion passed away in 1996 just after this biography was released, leaving an enormous void where he had been a beacon to humanitarian and liberation causes in his community.
