Customer Reviews

Great Seller, Great Product.

A++++,Fast shipping, product was in the shape it was described in the product quality. I recommend this seller.

enjoy the Dance

I loved this book! I agree with R. Pennoyer that the authors theology seems to be shaped more by his experiences than the NT and that the call to repentance is lost. But I loved the joy and the idea to see our lives as opportunities to participate with the creativity and love of God, to always dance with Him. Kruger's beautiful description of Jesus as the incarnate one helped me when I heard the words of Rowan Williams to not pray to Jesus, but in Jesus. It gave a wonderful intimate sense of how great God is.

A great book

This book gives a great perspective on our relationship with God and each other. God is less interested in doctrine and theology than relationships and ultimately, our personal relationship with him.

Learning to DANCE

The theology in this book is beautiul to say the least. Knowing that Jesus has re-created humanity in His life, death, resurrection, and ascension is life changing. Learning that the New Testament has been proclaiming to us all along that humanity is bound up in Jesus and secure in him is comforting and liberating. To know that Jesus is present in our everyday lives helped me see that my ideas of God being stuffy and only concerned with what I do when I go to church are all wrong. In fact they are pagan. I was "like a drunk man who knows he has a house but cannot find his way home" page 33. I now know that the Trinity has drawn me into their circle of shared life and are indeed sharing life with me and my family and the cosmos. The Great Dance gets 5 stars from me.
