Jesus, God and Us - Paperback

by Lisa Bedrick (Author)

Can God be controlled? Why was Jesus crucified? What is the meaning of life for us? How do we hear from God? In this book I discuss these questions and more. I talk about the fact that God is uncontrollable. We cannot predict what God will do, nor can we dictate what we think God should do. God will do what he will do, because he is God. Amen. I look at how Jesus is referred to as "the Word" in John. I discuss what some of Jesus' teachings were and analyze why the Pharisees hated and crucified Jesus. I also discuss how much God loves us, that God is a jealous God and how God is outside of time. I analyze Gerard Manly Hopkins' poem about God's creation called "God's Grandeur." I also analyze Psalm 139 about how God knows everything about us. Regarding man, I look at what the meaning of life is and how we need to have balance in our lives. Also I talk about how we need to learn to rest in God. I hope this book helps you in your walk with God I hope it will be a blessing to you In Jesus' name Amen. God bless

Author Biography

I was born and raised in Orange County, CA. My family then moved to Nebraska for 5 years, and then back to Orange County. I currently live in Midland, Texas. I went to Tustin High School in Tustin, CA. For college I went to Biola University in L.A. I have a B.A. in English with a minor in Bible. At Biola I was a member of the Torrey Honors Institute. I played basketball and was in choir from 4th grade through college. I really, really love animals. I have a beautiful 6 month old daughter named Serenity, and a wonderful Christian husband named Ben. I love the outdoors and I very much miss living by a beach. I have been to India, Taiwan and Mexico on mission's trips. I visited Sydney, Australia recently and got to fulfill my lifelong dream of snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef. I was raised in the church. I have been a hard-core, on-fire-for God, Christian since I was 14. Singing the song "Shout to the Lord" in church was what made the light bulb turn on for me, and what made me transition from a head faith in God to a heart faith. I love to sing and I absolutely love Hillsong worship music.: )
