Publisher's Synopsis
Devotionals so often bring comfort and peace through a vision of God that is filtered through the stained glass of the church. We embrace the truth of an all-inclusive presence. And then we act as though that same God never hit the streets. This is a devotional for those who know better, from painful experience. Hope is alive, in all places and at all times. The stories emerge from the lives of slumming angels, those who have faced defeat and despair. They lose their way, and ultimately, they find their way back. The narratives are provocative by design. They highlight moments when God pulls up a chair beside those who are being "real." Unfettered by conventions of respect and piety, they are at truly at one with their Creator. This devotional uses strong language and graphic scenes. The purpose is not to offend, but to offer an alternative for those who find that more traditional meditations lack substance and meaning.
