Then Something Wondrous Happened - John Shaughnessy - Bog

In search of a friendship with God, something wondrous happens. We live in a world where people are moving away from God, where too many of us have even stopped believing in him. We live in a world where people are moving away from each other, where too many of us embrace our divisions instead of our connections. It's a world where it seems that God could use another friend-and so could we. The gift of friendship-the human and the divine-is at the heart of Then Something Wondrous Happened. This collection of stories shows how God makes his goodness known through the surprising ways he puts people in our lives-and how they become the friends who sustain us, lift us and inspire us to reach for something more. Then Something Wondrous Happened also captures the stunning gift that God extends to each of us, a friendship marked by his desire to walk through this life with us while inviting us to share an eternal life with him. The choice is ours to accept God's remarkable offer of friendship-a friendship that promises to lead us to something wondrous. Will we?
