The central question of this book is this: what is God's relation to humanity? Augustine said that our hearts were restless until they rest in God. But how do we find God to rest in him? This book is my attempt at an answer. It is the cry of a soul steeped in Jesus Christ, longing for its all beautiful God. Shall our God be as great as we can imagine? Shall our love of God have any taint of fear? How do we get Jesus Christ into our hearts, to be like him? Can a human being be brought into the world by its God and be irrevocably lost? How can the humanity of Jesus be shared by each person, if that humanity is even possibly at eternal enmity with its maker? Is there anything that could justify believing in the failure of God, even a theory of inspiration? How so, if it meant that God could not be God? Such questions are explored here. This book has no agenda; nor must it, when it runs into doubts, conform to any creed. Its aim is simply this: to find and love and rest in our God.
