Have you suffered deep losses or feel God has let you down? Some believers turn away from God or maintain a surface relationship. They are trapped in the spiritual ditch of God's mystery. Other believers think they know God so well they carry him around in their back pockets, so to speak. They pull him out like a lucky penny expecting him to respond to their bidding. They are comfortably settled into the spiritual ditch of knowing about God. When we think we know God well, He may surprise us often in ways we don't like. In the book Living Between the Ditches: When God Makes No Sense readers learn to embrace both aspects of God's nature: We can know God; God is mystery. Throughout the book the author tells the ?ctional story of 30-something's Layton and Amy Brooks. Layton journeys from the ditch of knowing about God to the ditch of feeling deserted by God. Stuck between an unreliable God who Layton thinks has taken away all that he's known or cared about or no God at all, Layton struggles with his ex-wife Amy, his young daughter's upcoming surgery, his father's death, and his mother's illness. Layton entices readers to think about spiritual ditches in their lives. You will examine your own views of God, understand how spiritual ditches hamper your spiritual progress, and determine to stay on the narrow road to God's house, avoiding the ditches.
