While most of this blog will be thoughts about the book's content and the overall "God with skin on" concept, I want to let you know that the website for the book also has a blog where I invite you to submit your stories of people who have been God with skin on for you.
I made that website with a very simple program, so it's not too flexible. That means you'll need to send me your stories and pictures to put up. My e-mail is in the sidebar. Keep them short, or I'll have to edit them down and if you send pictures of children, please assure me that you have permission from the parents/guardians.
I hope that blog will, over time, become a place to see what God with skin on looks like in the lives of real people.
You might be the only Jesus some people ever meet. That's the premise behind God With Skin On: Finding God's Love in Human Relationships. This blog is a place to talk about the concepts of the book and perhaps explore some new ground.
Many of us have heard the story about the child who, when faced with his mother turning out the lights and leaving the room for the night, refused to be comforted by assurances that God would always be there. "But I need God with skin on!" the child cries.
The story illustrates a simple truth, but the ways in which we try to be "God with skin on" for other people can be anything but simple. So I wrote a book.
God With Skin On: Finding God's Love in Human Relationships (coming in April, 2009) starts with the assumption that you might be the only Jesus some people ever meet. Each chapter then looks at how we can be "God with skin on" in the different types of relationships we encounter.
From our closest intimate relationships to the ways we encounter our enemies, there are opportunities to be the Body of Christ for others. This blog is a place to talk about the concepts of the book and perhaps explore some new ground.
