When God Becomes Small

by Phil Needham Deep inside each one of us is a deep empty space.  We work and strive with great energy toward ideals and objectives that, in the quiet of the night, when we are alone with our thoughts, we know will never fill that space.  This human "chafing point" is universal and although we become quite accomplished at hiding it, it never leaves us.  It is always there, under the surface, this struggle to figure out who we are supposed to be as humans, with each other and with God.  It is this most basic human struggle that author Phil Needham addresses in "When God Becomes Small."  This beautiful, profound book looks with clarity and compassion at our human misconceptions of God and of ourselves.
