Former Leeland Member, Jack Mooring, Releases New Book "Portrait of God"

In an ever-changing, often turbulent world, recognizing God's goodness can be challenging. Many Christians describe their faith as a rollercoaster, with seasons of feeling close to God and having a clear sense of His presence, and others where He seems distant.
Author Jack Mooring experienced this personally, and by reflecting on and learning from the lives of the faithful men and women in history, he uncovered powerful reminders of God's unchanging truths.
Mooring's new book, Portrait of God: Rediscovering the Attributes of God through the Stories of His People (David C Cook, August 6, 2024) serves as a guidebook, using the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine to help modern-day believers find stability in their faith amidst the chaos of the world. In Portrait of God, Mooring provides thought-provoking questions and a list of further readings about each faith leader, allowing readers to dig even deeper into the truths about the unchanging character of God.
"I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering," writes Mooring. "I grew up in a rich tradition of truth, but life's lies have often buried those true ideas about God. So I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us forgetful people that this God we love is really who He says He is. This book is an attempt to rediscover our wonder about who He is. For each attribute of God, I chose a person in church history who actually experienced that part of God's nature. The goal is that, as we hear the stories of these people, we can get a glimpse of God through their eyes."
Each chapter explores an attribute of God through a person in church history who radically experienced His nature, applying it as a brushstroke to our portrait.
Readers will uncover:
• Faith: How an all-powerful God worked miracles in the life of Kathryn Kuhlman.
• Holiness: What Augustine of Hippo's life in a secular world teaches us about God.
• Compassion: How William and Catherine Booth's service to others radiated God's love.
