It's Sunday, but Monday's Comin': Finding Faith for the Rest of the Week

by Bill Bohline, Dean Merrill (With)

For millions of churchgoers, Sunday is a zone unto itself. It is a time to go to a specialized building, to stand, to sit, to pray, to read a bit of Scripture, to give money, to listen, hopefully to encounter God in some way … and then to go out to lunch. Soon comes Monday, and then Tuesday and the other workdays—a very different kind of world. Memories of Sunday quickly fade. The God who was proclaimed in church as almighty, gracious, and nurturing seems not to be near at all. Or at least we don’t see him at work. This is a book that erases that disconnect. It is about welcoming God to show up in the middle of life’s trials and stresses and hardships and questions. It is about letting the gospel transform us, not just inform us. It is about finding a faith that is real and personal, seven days a week.

An encouraging read, full of stories of faith. Written by the pastor of the first church I called home; I remember some of the stories and sermons he mentions from may years attending. It was fun to hear familiar names and to feel to gentle wisdom that Bill is known for. Really recommended if you're looking for something easy to digest and filled with joy and truth.
