{"product_id":"barrenness-and-blessing-hemchand-gossai-9781498210669","title":"Barrenness and Blessing","description":"The themes of these stories are profoundly human themes, capturing the persistent interaction between God and humankind. These narratives invite us to witness the manner in which God enters human community in all of its complexities, struggles, challenges, fears, and ultimately hope. As the narratives unfold, not only is it clear that God will not be restricted by societal and cultural conventions, but the human journey will be generated by faith and doubt, fear and hope, promise and fulfillment. Hemchand Gossai not only explores the various themes within a variety of texts, but maintains a constant eye on the implications for the church and contemporary readers. In this regard, some of the literal and particular experiences such as barrenness, wilderness, and wrestling with God are examined as metaphors for our experiences. The richness and texture of metaphors allow us to embrace these stories in a way that makes them our stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hemchand Gossai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149821066X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498210669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cascade Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Hemchand Gossai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43985899979007,"sku":"9781498210669","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d60ca709-244b-4fe1-aba7-f809e0f21c3b.jpg?v=1683280203","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/barrenness-and-blessing-hemchand-gossai-9781498210669","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
