No Backtalk, God!

       During the past year I bought two books at separate times and just realized recently they "speak" to one another.  The first is called Talking to God and the second, When God Talks Back. 

       Actually, each book is fine in its own way.  The former by Naomi Levy is personal prayers, not out of sacred text or prayer books but created by her out of tangible human situations, needs, and joys...as so many of the original religious prayers were.

       The second is an effort at understanding what happens when evangelicals find themselves hearing from God.  T. H. Luhrmann goes into four congregations and with a participant-observer's eye produces a nonjudgmental and insightful study.

  1. It is with comfort, that I am not only able to speak with GOD, but more so, and more importantly, that GOD listens, and then delivers. GOD IS GOOD.
