Here & Now: Finding God in the Beautiful Collision Between Head & Heart
By: Jon Gibson
I had the honor of writing the foreword for this book. I have written the forewords for over a dozen books in the last few years, but this one was different. I was given a pre-release copy to read and make “theological suggestions” and ended up falling in love with it. It is the only book I have ever approached the author and “asked” for consideration to write the foreword for. I truly believe this book will profoundly change your life.
I write a good amount of book reviews, and I decided that I am simply going to be a cheerleader from the sidelines on this review. Not because I don’t want to dive into every discussion, but because I truly want to not determine the course of impact this book will have on you. I believe it touches everyone slightly differently. So rather than tell you precisely what I think is best about it, or how it impacted me or should impact you – I just want to convince you that you need to read it and leave it up to the Holy Spirit to determine the impact it will have on your life.
This is a masterpiece. Digestible and easily applicable, no matter what your situation is, or what stage of life you are in. It is a reflective and deeply personal journey. Have you wondered if your course is slightly off? Are you really living the meaningful fulfilling life that God desires and intended for you? Jon has a way of getting to the root of the most personal topics and providing concrete, approachable ways to address them. He also has a gift for framing things in ways you would never think of but draws the reader into the sacred places and beautiful moments of their lives. The very introspective, passionate, & compassionate author will give you much to reflect on in your physical and spiritual relationships and life perspectives. This is a very easy and enlightening book to read and extremely practical on how to hear the voice of God for the situations you are facing now and to seek God’s face for his plans for your future. One of the strengths of the book is its clarity and simplicity in presenting profound spiritual truths. Jon emphasizes that everyone has a purpose in life, which is ultimately found in a personal relationship with God that dives into practical and inspirational stories painting great mosaics of what it means and looks like to find the love, grace, compassion and mercy of the father in everyday interactions. Have you experienced God moving with you in real time?
