Synopsis

“A needed corrective to self-indulgent Christianity.” Philip Yancey“A stirring challenge.” Lee Strobel“A strong antidote against a domesticated God.” Matthew Lee AndersonWhen was the last time you were overawed by God’s majesty? Have you ever stood in stunned silence at his holiness and power?In our shallow, self-centered age, things like truth and reverence might seem outdated, lost. Yet we’re restless. And our failed attempts to ease our unrest point to an ancient ache for an experience of the holy.Drew Dyck makes a compelling case that what we seek awaits us in the untamed God of Scripture—a God who is dangerous yet accessible, mysterious yet powerfully present. He is a God who beckons us to see him with a fresh, unfiltered gaze.Yawning at Tigers takes us past domesticated Christianity, into the wilds where God’s raw majesty, love, and power become more real and transformative than we could ever imagine.

We are so full of hearing God is grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love that we ignore that He is HOLY, and He calls us to be the same. This book brings us back into balance. As Dyck says......more

Goodreads review by Joan

This was a refreshing book. Somewhere I read an appropriate sub title for this book, "Honey, I Shrunk our God." That is the basic premise of this book, Dyke sets out to rectify it. He paints a clear, sharp picture of God from the scriptures with plenty of illustrations to help us grasp the in-graspa......more
