Encountering God through the Church

In this thought-provoking examination of how people encounter God Wade Howell examines the way humans come in contact with the divine. Howell presents a biblical theological and philosophical case for why people who are physical can have a relationship with God who is spirit. With an emphasis on centrality of the local church Howell demonstrates how God designed the church to satisfy the most intimate human needs which God placed in humans so he could be the source of their fulfillment. With a heart for people and a love for Gods church Howell echoes Augustine in showing why our soul is restless until it finds rest in God through his church.
