This is not an emergent blog post, it's the title of Nancy Ortberg's first book - Looking for God: an Unexpected Journey through Tattoos, Tofu, and Pronouns.In Looking for God, Ortberg encourages readers to break out of a prescriptive, formulaic approach to Christianity, and to embrace the struggles and the joy in order to experience God on a deeper level than they ever imagined. Ortberg poses that God invades every part of our lives, each hour of our days, but often speaks the most clearly in times of weakness, failure, and doubt. With unexpected vulnerability and authenticity, Ortberg leads the way by sharing her struggles and encouraging others that connecting with God doesn't have to look a certain way. It's a very Blue Like Jazz-esque.
Looking for God is scheduled for release in March 2008.
