Looking Around for God: The Strangely Reverent Observations of an Unconventional Christian James Autry, writer and poet, business executive, and son and grandson of Mississippi Baptist ministers, thinks that the true message of the old spiritual is not just that God has an eye on the sparrow. It's that God is demonstrating that if these details are worth God's attention, they are certainly worth ours. It may be that we will more readily find God in the details of this world, and of our own lives, than anywhere else.
Looking Around for God, Autry's tenth book, is
in many ways his most personal, as he considers his unique life of faith
and belief in a God often clouded by church convention. In assembling these
personal essays, stories and poems, Autry shares how God has been revealed
in many different circumstances of his life, and he offers a few ideas for
how the Christian church might better serve in making God's love and presence
manifest in the world. |
