You were made for something much bigger. And no, you don’t have to be an astronaut, or even a \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e fan, to live it. \u003ci\u003eFinding God in a Galaxy Far, Far Away\u003c\/i\u003e is not about space travel, or even a movie. It’s about rediscovering your sense of wonder—something we adults have successfully squelched from our everyday lives. But God never meant it to be that way. Timothy Jones, by way of an astounding, eye-opening study of the spiritual parallels found in the Star Wars saga, will make you a kid again. You’ll be marveling at the mysterious, laughing anew at life’s “coincidences,” and remembering above all the Creator for which you were made. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMay the True Force Be with You \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemember when \u003ci\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/i\u003e first captured your imagination?

There is, in every one of us, a longing to touch ‘the forever,’ to sense the magnitude of the vastness in which we live. This universal longing explains why we ride roller coasters and tell scary stories. This universal longing for awe also explains why, after nearly thirty years, the popularity of the Star Wars saga shows no sign of subsiding. I wrote this book to inspire readers to relish awe and wonder because God did not only create us to \u003ci\u003elong for\u003c\/i\u003e awe, but also to \u003ci\u003elive\u003c\/i\u003e in it!” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Timothy Jones\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phil Cone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050343776496,"sku":"9781590525777","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590525777_p0.jpg?v=1763810336","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590525777","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
