The Organic God

I am reading The Organic God by Margaret Feinberg to Kylee and Makenna right now. Becky Branch loaned this book to me after I commented on her review. I was reading the book to myself, but the girls quickly asked me why it is called the organic God. I read the portion of the book to them that explains the title. They wanted to hear more of the book after that, so we have put The Invention of Hugo Cabret aside for now and are currently in chapter four of Organic God.

Imagine if you will, as a dad slows his reading down and utters these words to his seven year old daughters:
In Jesus, God put his whole heart on display for the world to see. In Jesus, my love for God is renewed. In Jesus, the fullness of God's bigheartedness is revealed. I don't know what it is about him, but something about Jesus steadies me. His words breathe life. His actions impart hope. His life inspires action.
