'Home Behind the Sun' by Timothy Willard and Jason Locy

"It is the act of chasing brilliance that keeps hope alive within our hearts.  And that chasing act produces an expectation of belief--though the shadows lengthen and at times overwhelm, the brilliance is not far away."

Excellent book.  I have to say that Home Behind the Sun is one of the best books I've read this year.  I feel rejuvenated. Timothy Willard and Jason Locy have written a very honest book that's all about our Creator and His love for us, and His desire for us to be filled with wonder.  And with their gorgeous use of words they encourage us to approach the Lord as our children are still able to do, in their innocence.  The older I get, the harder that's become, but I can still try.

Both writers share extensive examples of how they're looking to fall in love with God again.  To see Him in all the varied experiences we travel through on a given day.  And they're not all pretty situations, but they also tell of hard times that try a person's faith.  The thing is, we should still be able to find the magic.

Life was never intended to be ordinary.  I mean really, if we would look at each day as if it's the first time we've seen it, how would it appear?  This is how Tim and Jason gifted me, and I read this book at just the time I needed it.  I was craving the joy, but didn't know where to look.
