A Boundless God

The word rûaḥ (commonly translated as breath, wind, spirit, or Spirit) occurs in the Old Testament 378 times--more frequently than torah, shalom, or Sabbath. In this volume, a popular Old Testament scholar, whose previous books have received wide acclaim, cracks open the challenging and provocative world of the Spirit in the Old Testament, offering readers cogent yet comprehensive insights. Grounded in scholarship yet accessible and inviting, this book unlocks the world of the Spirit, plunging readers into an imaginative realm of fresh senses, sounds, and skills. The book gives readers the opportunity to recapture Israel's tenacious sense of the Spirit's energy as it was expressed by a series of vibrant verbs: blowing, breathing, coming, resting, passing, pouring, filling, cleansing, standing, and guiding. Readers will encounter in these pages all of the Old Testament expressions of the Spirit--passages that will challenge the conventional, confront the commonplace, and transport them to a world of wisdom, work, and wonder.

The fruitfulness of these meditations is evident on every page, bringing the Christian view of divinity to a new and beautiful level of understanding. Book jacket.

The nature of God is that he cannot be ""bound"" to one place or time-but he also took finite form, bounded to a redemptive act and time that forever changed the world. The understanding of the Triune God also brings together a certain ""boundedness"" that cannot be taken in any way to limit the bounds of the Creator. In this treatment on the nature of the Lord, Adrienne Von Speyr's mystical erudition is implemented to great effect, allowing the reader to glimpse a view of God that many lack. The fruitfulness of these meditations is evident on every page, and brings the Christian view of divinity to a new and beautiful level of interpretative thought.

Popular author Jack Levison offers a fresh take on the Holy Spirit through a careful reading of every reference to the Spirit in the Gospels. Viewed through the lens of Jesus's life, death, and resurrection, the Spirit shows up at odd times and in odd teachings--in desert sojourns, a strange saying about scorpions and snakes, and puzzling sayings about birth from above and springs from below. Grounded in scholarship, yet accessible and inviting, this companion volume to Levison's A Boundless God analyzes key aspects of Jesus's experience of the Holy Spirit, offering nuggets of insight on every page.

Our faith begins and ends with the love of God. In the face of life's struggles, how deeply we need to trust in a love greater than ourselves-a love we can count on to hold us, to never let us go, and to instill in us a worth that our best efforts can never earn and our worst failings can't diminish.That's the love God has for you. It's a love that delights in you, cherishes the simple things that give you joy, meets you in the sorrows no one else can touch, and whispers your name in unguarded, unexpected moments. No one else knows you like your heavenly Father, and no one else loves you as wisely, powerfully, and completely.With sensitivity and insight, Women of Faith authors share devotional reflections on the character of God's heart. Distilled from the Bible's timeless truths and the experiences of everyday life, these meditations are like precious notes from your Father revealing the nature of his love for you. It's a love that is . . .Boundless-overflowing toward you with no danger of ever running outFearless-unafraid of the worst in you, confident of the best in youStubborn-refusing to ever give up on youLavish-holding back nothing of its best treasures from youOutlandish-proving its character in wild, impossible waysIntentional-devoting its every act to your highest goodIn the words of Sheila Walsh, "Our prayer as we sat down to write this book to you was that you would know you are loved--boundlessly, fearlessly, stubbornly, lavishly, outlandishly, intentionally--by the God of the universe, the One who created you and calls you by name.
