Finding God in the Bible by Darren Wilson

I enjoyed this writer, Darren Wilson, his work is laid back and has a hippie twist. The News Boys meet Willie Nelson, in musical terms! Its a softback, a fast read and he offers good insights into seeing that ours is truly the only LIVING God, the only real God. Its a wonderful book and the dvd is great! Wilson is a very good articulator. He has a hippie come to God approach; like Jimmy Buffett meets Rick Warren or The News Boys meets Willie Nelson. He puts spin on his take of how to develop a relationship with God, how to see where God was in the past so you can see where God is in the present and where God will be in the future (hint) the answer is here. I received a free copy from the publisher, Bethany House in exchange for writing a review; however that did not earn the book a good review! I saw a bumper sticker one time that read, 'Gods original plan was to hang out in a garden with some naked people'. I loved it! I think Darren Wilson would love it also because it sums up the feel I have for his writing. He focuses on with this book an aspect of seeing God as a friend, not an ice cold ruler. Wilson has kind of a hippie approach, love God and give God a chance; talk to God just like you talk to any close friend. This is a great book to help someone get a deeper friendship with God and not take such a stoic approach that keeps us distant from God. We don't need to see God as distant but as here with us and approachable. That seems to be the focus of this work. Also the DVD, Father of Lights is great!! It drives home Wilsons point: God loves us and wants to be friends with all of us, not deity and creation but friends.
