Faith doesn't always make sense. We live in a world of tension, and as much as we'd sometimes like it to, our faith was not meant to relieve that tension but to make some sense of it. Through stunning essays and evocative stories, Steven James explores the wonder, paradox, and presence of Jesus in life today. Without trying to decipher or diminish the mysteries of a life of faith, James leads you deeper into the rich texture of the breathtaking story God is telling our planet. Rather than limiting God to human understanding, you can discover the joy found in not being able to ever fully comprehend the Creator or the depth of his love. From funny to poignant to profound, but always pointing toward God, James's stories help you develop a worldview of wonder at the incredible world in which we live. There's never been a better time to get to know this God who is illogical, unreasonable, unrealistic, and incredibly and unmistakably true. Storyteller and poet Steven James has been a full-time speaker for almost ten years and continues to speak at conferences, churches, and special events across the country, sharing his eclectic blend of drama, comedy, and inspirational storytelling. Steven is also the author of nineteen books, including the critically acclaimed Story. When he's not traveling or writing, Steven likes going rock climbing, watching science fiction movies, and eating chicken fajitas. He lives with his wife and three daughters in Tennessee.James, Steven is the author of 'Sailing Between the Stars Musings on the Mysteries of Faith', published 2006 under ISBN 9780800731649 and ISBN 0800731646.
