Thus utilizing one final preposition, With, he lays out what it really means to know and experience communion with God—a life of faith, hope and love?the very things that we all desperately want and need. This is a helpful, encouraging, and inspiring book.  -\u003cb\u003eJim Belcher, author of \u003ci\u003eDeep Church\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt doesn’t matter, as old theologians were rumored to argue, how many angels can dance on a pinhead. But it does matter which preposition governs your faith?over, after, against, for, from, under, with. Who knew what huge worlds turn on such tiny words? Who knew what theological riches were laced into the bones of grammar? Skye has done a great service to the church. In prose elegant and clear, with insights keen and deep, he shows how everything changes with just one word: With.

Skye's book will challenge the way that you think about God and faith digging deep into our motivations and heart issues.
