Between the Dreaming and the Coming True The Road Home to God (U) - SKU 168814

In this spiritual self-portrait, Benson's experiences - battling depression, searching for a truly vital and sustaining relationship with God, and reexamining the deep Christian faith in which he has been immersed since childhood - become the fluent and poignant testament of one believer's struggle with the mysteries of faith's road. In words both quiet and searching, he examines the communities of faith that have welcomed him over the years, reflects on his own prayers in times of trial and tranquillity alike, and muses on the ways - sad, mundane, and comic - in which we attempt to communicate with God. Benson poses every seeker's ultimate question: What am l meant to do with life, that stretch of time between God's creation or "dreaming" of me, and the "coming true", my return home to Him? And in answer, Benson teaches us - as he has been taught - to listen to the quiet voice of the one who dreams us into being, calls us to become His faithful, and in the end takes us home to Him.
