This is the second of two books--the first is titled Finding Freedom and Grace in a Broken World: A Journey in the Purposes and Providence of God--intended to help longtime but tired believers and those at a distance or disenchanted with what they have seen in Christianity to know God better, to experience his grace from the inside, and to grow deep in their faith and loyalty to the God of the universe. The 248 themes here are intended to help readers continue to become what God wants them to be in a broken world trying to make them into something else. These words are for people who want to move from Christian routines, rituals, and information about God to flourishing faith and trust, enveloping an ongoing, intimate relationship with him in their daily lives. For he continues to move in the history of the world he created, coming between humankind and the darkness that has settled in, offering his welcoming grace to the most unworthy, bringing freedom to the oppressed, hope to the weary, and reigniting the faith of tired Christians. It is the story of his intervening love for everyone who wants it. "In An Intervening Love , Dr. Stallter offers a compelling exploration of God's providence and grace, cutting through the complexities of Christian life. Stallter skillfully dismantles false notions of performance-based Christianity, inviting readers to embrace a genuine relationship with God. This book is a labor of love and a peek inside Dr. Stallter's own spiritual life founded on a deep understanding of who God is." --Drew Flamm, President, Grace College and Grace Theological Seminary "In this masterpiece on Christian living, Tom Stallter pours out his heart with a sensitivity and posture of compassion that is meant to lovingly guide readers on how to walk through life experiences rooted in the word of God. Insights on how to live a genuine Christ-like life in this dark and deceiving world permeate the book. Stallter seemingly leaves no stone unturned and no topic untouched as he weaves together spiritual discernment and nuggets of wisdom from Scripture related to a plethora of life encounters and situations." --Marvin J. Newell, Ambassador at Large, Missio Nexus " An Intervening Love is a remarkable work by Thomas M. Stallter, offering a fresh, honest perspective on the Christian journey--one that moves beyond the well-worn paths of formulaic faith toward a vibrant, relational encounter with God.
