Synopsis:
The Nine Veils explores the link between reputation and identity within the backdrop of “30,000 sunrises.”
30,000 sunrises refer to the number of days demographers expect me to live. That’s how many days I have to determine the meaning and purpose of life, develop a healthy understanding of God’s character, and overcome the obstacles that stand in the way.
We often develop a wrong understanding of God through doubt: either we doubt all that God says he is, or we doubt He can meet our own personal circumstances. When doubt robs us of our freedom, we can develop a fear-based perspective where we interpret a relationship with God as one of reaching targets and maintaining performance. Alternatively, we can personalise God to such a degree that, often subconsciously, we expect him to meet our entitlements.
I’ve identified nine spiritual-veils that people wear that distort our view of God and damage our identity. Through my own personal journey and walking alongside many others, I consider that each of us can relate to the concept of these veils. I use personal stories to amplify this area, stories of intimacy, and humour.
Be it the result of doubt, fear, or entitlement, we can discover that our understanding of the ways of God, of God’s character and his love, has become tainted. We may still see evidence of light, but we’ve lost the ability to determine the position of God, and we form our assumptions of God based on misinformation; over time, the gap between our assumptions and the character of God widens.
This book does not ignore the tough questions of life, and these questions do represent our need for identity
• Who am I? • Where am I from? • Why am I here?
Or, they represent our uncertainty of God’s reputation
• Why does God allow? • Why is there suffering? • Why doesn’t God stop?
The reader is invited to consider their own questions and concerns, and even accusations that they may have against God. Central to the philosophy of this book is God’s comfort in being asked questions. Yet, the way we ask questions becomes important, as a son or daughter deeply loved by Father, or as an accuser.
30,000 sunrises to live life in the fullness of identity.
The book also includes a “Bite-Sized Bible Study” at the end, which recaps the main principles of the book and invites the reader to further study and reflection.
