John Bowker Knihy

V této knize muži i ženy vyprávějí svými vlastními slovy, co pro ně Bůh znamená, i o tom, co může znamenat pro ostatní. Jejich důvěrná slova jsou určena právě pro tuto knihu. Ukazují, že lidé všech generací, lidé ze všech koutů světa, mají podobné zážitky s Bohem, poznání Boha jim umožňuje poznat a objevit záhady jejich světa… Často jsou spletitá tajemství chápána špatně, a je třeba pátrat a hledat pravdu dál, napravovat omyly. Abychom našli pravdu o současnosti a snad i o budoucnosti, musíme se obrátit ke své minulosti. Bůh zemřel mnohokrát; přesto žije dál a my jej můžeme najít. V sobě.
