Advance praise for Nancy Ortberg's "LookingforGod" "Wow. Whether you're a theologian, a regular churchgoer, a nominal Christian, or just curious about this Jesus guy everyone is talking about, "Looking for God" will overwhelm you. It is remarkably profound, poignant, and insightful, and written with an uncommon and inspired sense of joy. I couldn't stop reading it. Amazing." Patrick Lencioni, bestselling author of "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" "For years, Nancy has been leading seekers to a relationship with God. In this book, not only does she do that, but she also finds the seeker in all of us believers too, and leads us to finding more of Him. I recommend it!" Dr. Henry Cloud, bestselling author of "Boundaries" "Nancy Ortberg's winsome reflections on the life of faith-and the struggles that inevitably attend that life-have been, simply, balm for me. I know I will return to this book." Lauren F. Winner, author of "Girl Meets God" and "Real Sex," "Nancy Ortberg shows her beautiful storytelling ability in these pages. Her stories range from funny to poignant and from gritty to tender as they explore the spirituality of elation, depression, normalcy, regret, sacrifice, teamwork, creativity, and more. Each story is like a clue in a quest for God, and through them, readers can experience what Nancy calls 'reconversion.'" Brian McLaren, author/speaker (brianmclaren.net) "Nancy Ortberg is not like Most-of-Us. At least she's not like the Most-of-Us that experts tell us we are supposed to be. Because she's not like Most-of-Us, she's got something to say to All-of-Us, and it is this: Most of us are not like Most-of-Us and it's okay not to be likeMost-of-Us. Nancy's turned her wit and wisdom and rugged honesty into a new level of authenticity. Time passed me by as I read this book." Scot McKnight, Ph.D., author of "The Jesus Creed"Ortberg, Nancy is the author of 'Looking for God', published 2008 under ISBN 9781414313320 and ISBN 1414313322.
