Embracing the Uncertain (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Learn to navigate life's uncertainties. Just turning on the news lets us know we are living in uncertain times. Economic instabilities, eruptions of violence, and natural catastrophes can alter the lives and landscapes of entire communities. Our individual lives are often just as unsteady: relationships can falter, plans can go awry, and confidence can wane. Uncertainty can be uncomfortable. Many of us prefer stability and a predictable future to an unknown fate. We are wired to want to control our destiny. The reality is that in our fast-changing, unpredictable world, there are few guarantees in life. It's those who are willing to embrace uncertainty and make the risky decision to follow Jesus despite the many "unknowns" who will reap the greatest rewards. In Embracing the Uncertain, Magrey deVega invites readers to engage and wrestle with life's uncertainties, not ignore them. The six chapters focus on six post-transfiguration, pre-Passion stories in the Gospels. Each of these stories is a signpost in the Gospel narrative, pointing down at a world filled with uncertainty but pointing us forward to a cross that can show us how to follow Jesus with courage, hope, and obedience. Perfect for both small-group Bible studies and personal reflection, Embracing the Uncertain includes discussion questions to help you dig deep into your faith and face life's challenges with a renewed sense of purpose.
