Surprising Light - David G. Bowen - Bog

Pastors with "ears to hear" learn that people live with both life-giving joy and soul-testing grief. Such gladness and sorrow are most often expressed in the tales they tell. David Bowen grew up hearing the people around him tell marvelous stories. Of course, they were not just telling but living their stories, as well.

Surprising Light is a poignant literary collection describing the ways God has revealed his love and grace in both David's personal life and through his work as a pastor. It goes to show that God uses stories to catch the ears of those willing to hear.

This collection covers themes like spirituality, reconciliation, healing, forgiveness, and more. For each story, David presents a Bible Scripture, illuminated with an example of God working through ordinary circumstances and ordinary people to reveal grace, love, and mercy in unexpected ways.
