God In Our Arms

<p>The God who spoke life into being gave us his Son Jesus the Christ.</p><p>God manifested his love for us by allowing himself to become utterly vulnerable stepping into our reality.

Tom Hall Pastor Emeritus of First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh.</p><p><em>God In Our Arms</em> explores the mystery of the all-powerful Creator willingly becoming a child and trusting human parents to meet his every need. It invites readers to ponder how divine vulnerability paves the way for <em>us </em>to embrace the ultimate gift-LIFE as God intended it for us.</p><p>Each entry in this collection offers reflections on why we fall short of who we were created to be and then dares us to truly live-as followers of Jesus Christ. </p><p>Searchers as well as lifelong believers will find this book a resource for better understanding the core of the Christian faith and growing in it.</p><p>Praise for <em>God In Our Arms</em>:</p><p>The Rev. Tom Hall's excellent and beautifully written devotional <em>God In Our Arms: Embracing The Life You Were Created For</em> is a rich treasure chest of Biblical insights applied to the twenty-first century world providing inspiration and hope for ordinary people yearning to follow Jesus Christ in the drama of their lives. Rev. Hall's text-drawn from his profound First Presbyterian Church of Pittsburgh sermons-should be read slowly in order to capture every gem of his powerfully creative wisdom. <em>God in Our Arms</em> is destined to be the modern equivalent of Oswald Chambers's famous devotional <em>My Utmost for His Highest</em>.</p><ol><li data-list=bullet><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span><em>Rev.
