What does a Hip-Hop artist, Waffle House waitress, tire salesman, and disabled girl have to do with discovering spiritual truth? What if embracing authentic Christianity is a journey of unlearning?

More About Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion to Find God
I can't control or predict God, but I trust him enough to allow this journey of knowing him to take me wherever it may lead, even if I don't know where that is until I get there. Jim Palmer, Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion to Find God My striving couldn't get me any closer to knowing God. He had always been there, waiting for me to give up and listen. Jim Palmer, Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion to Find God I'm slowly seeing that God really does love me, although I still sometimes try to earn his love and depend on my talents, achievements, or traits for self-worth. So many times, I choose destructive patterns and misplaced dependencies over his love. I'm weary from my lists of dos and don'ts and tired of trying to figure it out, yet I struggle to simply receive the love and life God wants to give. Jim Palmer, Divine Nobodies: Shedding Religion to Find God
This book helped me see God's grace in everyone, my mechanic, waitress and sales clerk for example. Shedding off religion and learning what relationship is like with the divine through everyday people. Loved this book, as did my daughter. It inspired her to get involved with the fight to end human trafficking/slavery. It also challenged me to expand my views of faith and humanity. I loved reading all the different encounters he had with God through so many different people. This would make for great small group discussion. Its easy to read this book at your own pace. I read about a chapter a month... a lot to think about.
