Barefoot Before God: A Book of Sermons (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781534704015)

Yawns, droopy eyelids, shuffling feet and clock watching are often associated with Sunday morning preaching. But here are ten sermons full of life, vigor and enough creative imagination guaranteed to keep you alert and on the edge of your seat as you read these inspiring messages from these ancient stories as relevant as today's headlines. The title sermon, Barefoot Before God charts the life of Moses from birth, through his education in Egypt, his escape and life in the Midian desert until he encounters God in a fresh new way before the burning bush. Barefoot Before God, he learns something about himself, God and his destiny. This message was birthed during the time I had been stripped of all my defenses. I was living in a foreign land, ill, traumatized by culture shock and totally clueless about being a missionary. My emotional support system was 10,000 miles away and I felt completely alone. Forced into a time of intense prayer just to survive, I found God at my Burning Bush. And after a long haul, I realized that Barefoot before God is the best place to be. It's a new beginning, where fear is replaced by faith, frustration with fruitfulness, and sorrow with joy. Once you pass through this valley, you'll never be the same again, the old life is passing away and a new life is coming. You've walked through the fiery furnace, you've felt the flames singe the hairs on the back of your neck, but in the midst of all this you've seen the face of God.
