God is the Master Builder!
The author beautifully writes of spiritual and natural patterns found in the Bible. These patterns include the Cross, the wheel, the scales, the triangle, and the square. God uses these patterns to reveal Himself as He works in Christians' lives. I enjoyed learning how God taught King David the Square of Faithfulness, which has four elements: David experienced being poor, a stranger, fatherless, and a
widow -- all of which helped him to grow spiritually and be a better leader.
A Visual-Learners Delight!
Lack of organization is chaotic. One of the most fascinating things about the human mind is the ability to relate, organize, categorize, and strategize.
In Privileged Planet, Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez (Ph.D. in Astronomy), collaborated with Dr. Jay W. Richards (Ph.D. with honors in Philosophy and Theology from Princeton Theological Seminary) to discover the universe not only reveals we are placed precisely in the best location in the entire universe to have sustainable life, but we are also placed in the most opportune place for OBSERVING. They revealed (part of) the plan of the Intelligent Designer Who wants to be discovered.
This book, Patterns And Forms In God’s Word That Illustrate Divine Truth, catapults the thinking mind into regions beyond; explaining equations, balances, and laws of governance revealed in God's Word! The Bible contains patterns and forms which make it come alive in my everyday life. The Creator intended for us to find Him, not just in observance of the universe (knowledge), but also in everything we go through (the use or application of that knowledge).
Just as it's important for a child entering grade school (who may one day want to become an astronaut to learn shapes, numbers, and the alphabet to the child entering grade school with a dream of becoming a doctor, lawyer, or an astronaut, so too is it important for Bible scholars to understand the patterns and forms in God's Word if they wish to grow spiritually. A highly recommended read for those seeking spiritual and natural balance.
