In GOD SPEAKS, WE LISTEN, Jeff Vehige delves into the most essential truths of human existence: that God has revealed himself to us, and that we are called to respond to his revelation in faith and prayer.
Vehige reflects upon what it means to be created in the image of God and why we find happiness in God alone. He discusses the nature of God's revelation and explains why we need revelation. He leads the reader on a journey through the history of salvation, from the creation of the world and the fall of our first parents to God's promise of redemption and its completion in Christ. He answers some key questions about faith: How is faith both a gift from God and a human action? What does it mean that faith is a foretaste of heaven? And most important of all, why is faith necessary for salvation?
Finally, Vehige turns his attention to the spiritual life. He shows that we must see God's revelation not only in the grand scheme of history, but also as the beginning of an intimate conversation—a conversation we continue through reading, reflection, and prayer. It's only when we strive to make God's revealed truth a reality in our own minds and hearts that we truly understand how we find happiness in God—and in God alone.
