Phillips explains that the trouble facing many of us today is that we have not found a God big enough for our modern needs. In a world where our experience of life has grown in myriad direction, and our mental horizons have been expanded to the point of bewilderment by world events and scientific discoveries, our ideas of God have remained largely static.   \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eIt is nearly impossible, Phillips argues, for an adult to worship the conception of God that exists in the mind of a child of Sunday-school age, the \"God-in-a-box\" notion, limiting God to such inadequate conceptions as \"Resident Policemen,\" \"Grand Old Man,\" \"Meek-and-Mild\", and \"Managing Director.\" As a result of these insufficient ideas of God, many people live with an inner dissatisfaction, without any faith at all.   \u003cbr\u003eYOUR GOD IS TOO SMALL explores the ways in which we can find a truly meaningful and constructive God for ourselves, big enough to account for our current experience of life and big enough to command our highest admiration and respect. 128 pages, from Touchstone.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51563865506079,"sku":"9780743255097","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780743255097_568886.jpg?v=1769185309"},{"product_id":"the-price-of-success-an-autobiography-472911","title":"The Price of Success: An Autobiography","description":"","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51566042120479,"sku":"9780877886594","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780877886594_1624584.jpg?v=1769253120"},{"product_id":"ring-of-truth-a-translators-testimony-45521","title":"Ring of Truth: A Translator's Testimony","description":"J.B.

B. Phillips, best known hitherto for his widely acclaimed translation of the New Testament, has in this series of short plays about the life of Christ preserved the same direct speech and simple, dignified language that so distinguish his translation.The series starts with the first public appearance of the boy Jesus when he talks to the elders in the temple, and ends with a moving reconstruction of the crucifixion as witnessed by the soldiers, by Nicodemus, and bystanders.Written at the invitation of the BBC in England for their Schools Programme, these plays will be welcomed in book form by parents and children, as well as teachers. Schools, churches, clubs, and other groups will find them admirably suited to simple dramatization of some of the events in the life of the Man called Jesus. They will be especially satisfying to the individual reader who will find that this imaginative approach sheds new light upon familiar stories.Turn to Canon Phillips' helpful introduction for his interesting comments on the writing of the plays.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51571051462943,"sku":"9781620323212","price":32.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781620323212_1392331.jpg?v=1769363151"},{"product_id":"four-prophets-a-translation-into-modern-english-amos-hosea-micah-isaiah-j-b-phillips-classics-series-515445","title":"Four Prophets: A Translation Into Modern English: Amos, Hosea, Micah, Isaiah (J B Phillips Classics Series)","description":"Description: J. B. Phillips began to translate the Bible during World War II for study by youth groups of the Anglican church in London of which he was then vicar; his New Testament translations have since been read by millions. Four Prophets is his first translation from the Old Testament. But as for me, my eyes look for the Lord. I will wait for the God who will save me; Yes, my God will deliver me! Never exult over me, my enemy-- When I fail, I shall rise again; When I sit in darkness, The Lord shall be my light. I will endure the displeasure of the Lord, (For I have sinned against him), Until the day when he takes up my cause, And vindicates my right. He will bring me out into the light, And I shall see the justness of his ways. Micah 7:7 About the Contributor(s): John Bertram Phillips(1906-1982) was a Bible translator, writer, and clergyman.
