Luther Library: Dying to Live

Dan, of Necessary Roughness, has intrigued me with his review of Harold Senkbeil’s book, Dying to Live: The Power of Forgiveness. He writes:

Senkbeil describes the world as plastic and lonely, leaving us to seek pleasure in sinful ways. The first chapter is ordinary (perhaps because we are ordinary) compared with some of the very cool things in the second chapter when he describes the living God. He calls us to see the “God in Diapers” and recalls Exodus 33:19-23 to show that God is protecting us when he hides from us. In our condition we would be obliterated if we saw God directly. In the last chapter, the author gives a summary of Christ’s human life and death, stating that the death of God brings life into our dying world.
