Product Description
WRESTLING WITH GOD

You're hungry to know God. You want to encounter Him. You can feel it in your bones that there’s more to life, but everywhere you’ve looked to fill the void you feel has left you empty still: Culture. Career. Things. Even church. Your soul's stomach continues to growl.

This book will satisfy that hunger. Wrestling With God is raw. It’s about getting outside the confines of dogmatic religion and encountering something real. It is a guidebook into the rich journey of surrender and exploration that can lead to a deep trust in a radically loving ­ but never tame ­ God.

Warning: This book will mess you up. But that’s a good thing. The end of religion is the beginning of relationship.

Reader Reviews
It's about time somebody took the ideas in the Matrix and ran with them. Kudos. There's an amazing wealth of metaphor in that movie. I appreciated Diamond's honesty and openness, and I heartily resonanted with much he had to say. What I was left with at the end of the book was, "Ok, I'm awake, I'm real, I'm alive. I have been for a while. Now what?" I suppose I was looking for something to take me beyond the "awakeness." Overall, a good read. At times a little fast and loose with theology. But a good call to waking for those unawakened. I would like to see something now that addresses those who have been awakened, something that moves us to the next level. But I suppose that part is up to us. And God.
