Beauty in the Desert: Discover Deeper Intimacy with God Through the Model of the Tabernacle

by Eddie Broussard, Jerry Bridges

Deserts can be harsh, but they also are home to rare beauty. Spiritual deserts are difficult, but in God’s hands they can become life transforming. During spiritual deserts, we can find love in God’s dwelling place, the tabernacle, because it offers a blueprint for intimately meeting with Him. Author Eddie Broussard guides readers through the tabernacle, clearly explaining its meaning in light of its New Covenant fulfillment in Christ. Understanding the tabernacle can lead you to have worship that empowers, wisdom that guides, and a knowledge of God that transforms.

Such a great comparison from old to new testaments, and incredible insightfulness. I read in small chunks to absorb the many truths within.

Thoroughly researched and tenderly written, the author's life experiences are testimonies to the truth of how devotion should change you and the world around you.

Good book. Got a little repetitive. Loved seeing the beauty of Old Testament worship.

Broussard shows how contemplating the tabernacle helped him through difficult "desert" times in his life. He had many interesting reflections on the scriptural symbolisms in the tabernacle. He states THAT these truths helped him navigate his situation without always clearly explaining HOW understanding them made a practical difference.
