It could be, too, if more people would grasp the joy of losing themselves in service to God and each other. People like Christoph Blumhardt, who, in his quest to get to the essentials of faith, burns away the religious trappings of modern piety like so much chaff.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlumhardt writes with unabashed fervor, \u003c\/b\u003e but his passion encourages rather than intimidates. His witness influenced theological giants like Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Karl Barth. But \u003ci\u003eAction in Waiting\u003c\/i\u003e is not theology; it is too blunt, too earthy, too real. Its \"active expectation\" of God's kingdom shows us that the object of our hope is not relegated to some afterlife. Today, in our world, it can come into its own - if only we are ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0874869544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780874869545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plough Publishing House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994022248703,"sku":"9780874869545","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3c063918-dac8-4daf-ac1e-fb0a60eb9154.jpg?v=1683327666","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-action-in-waiting-christoph-friedrich-blumhardt-9780874869545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
