{"product_id":"9781450072915","title":"CHRISTMAS SHOCK: The Human Experience of God","description":"THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE OF GOD  \u003cbr\u003eIn this book, which can be considered as one of the most original,  \u003cbr\u003edaring, and signifi cant contributions to contemporary spirituality in  \u003cbr\u003egeneral and to Christian theology, philosophy, and anthropology in  \u003cbr\u003eparticular, Dr. Maalouf 's method is neither to build an abstract or  \u003cbr\u003eutopian system nor to preach or sermonize. His approach is to question,  \u003cbr\u003eexplore, suggest, and invite the reader-erudite or not, Catholic or  \u003cbr\u003enot, politically correct or not-to a new level of comprehension and  \u003cbr\u003eway of seeing things. Whoever, however, and wherever we are, our  \u003cbr\u003eeveryday lives could become the place and time where the sacred  \u003cbr\u003eand the secular meet. He proposes that our challenge, then, is how  \u003cbr\u003eto be Christlike, and not just \"Christian.\" Then the true miracle of  \u003cbr\u003eChristmas can become the miracle of transformed messengers and  \u003cbr\u003ea transfi gured world in which \"all things [come] into being through  \u003cbr\u003ehim\" ( John 1:3).","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154801377520,"sku":"9781450072915","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781450072915_p0.jpg?v=1763837083","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781450072915","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
