Every person is constantly seeking redemption (or at least the feeling of it) in his or her life, believing countless gospels that promise to fix the brokenness. Typically their pursuits include the desire for fulfilling relationships, successful careers, satisfying religious systems, status, and escape. Miller reveals how the inability to find redemption leads to chaotic relationships, self-hatred, the accumulation of meaningless material possessions, and a lack of inner peace. Readers will learn to identify in themselves and within others the universal desire for redemption. They will discover that the gospel of Jesus is the only way to find meaning in life and true redemption. Mature believers as well as seekers and new Christians will find themselves identifying with the narrative journey unfolded in the book, which is simply the pursuit of redemption. 33415 book 13 10 2004 Searching for God Knows What total:2422|5:24|4:28|3:11|2:5|1:4| 2422 9535 3336 312 5 3 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 29 06:10:16 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 10 14:42:19 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat Nov 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 12:16:01 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 03 18:29:52 -0800 2008 1 more...]]> 0 1 false false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 14:10:38 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 19 10:57:22 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Apr 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 06:57:38 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 07:10:03 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Wed Feb 06 10:54:50 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 11:00:41 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Nov 26 16:39:13 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 16:50:30 -0800 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Sat Nov 07 05:44:20 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 19:12:00 -0800 2009 ...more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Oct 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 11:22:18 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 13 12:19:03 -0800 2009 There was a quote here and a quote there that were worth noting, but as a whole it was hard to even make it to the end of the book.
