Fresh Footsteps: Searching for a Lost God: In Search of a Lost God

by JohnHoughton (Author)

Synopsis

John Houghton became a God-searcher just at a time when churches were going under the hammer, vicars no longer believed their own faith, and God was pronounced dead. But John possessed an insatiable curiosity and wanted to find out for himself... In spite of a relentlessly scientific and rationalistic education, something nagged inside him. Could there be more to life? Science can only observe and measure, but how could you measure the unmeasurable? The artistic, creative side of his personality demanded answers that science can never supply. So can God still have a place in a world ruled by science and technology? How can there be a God of love given so much appalling suffering in this world? Hasn't evolution disproved the existence of God, anyway? Fresh Footprints seeks to answers these and many other questions. Using the idea of a seashore journey the author invites readers discover a relationship with God for themselves.

Media Reviews
John's helical 'slinky' approach to God and life is very persuasive. His retelling of the grand biblical narrative is compelling. Throughout, John asks questions galore, refusing to force-feed us. Above all, we are offered the good news in fresh clothes. If you're brave enough to dip your feet in the water for the first time, just do it! If you're already swimming and want to bring those with arm-bands gently with you, this would be a great stimulus. - Rev Andrew Whitman MA, Theologian and Spiritual teacher.
