Read Ebook The History Of Time and the Genesis of You, by Peter Hiett
Peter Hiett argues that Genesis chapter 1 is the history of time – all time. And His-story is the genesis of you. The deepest story is that God is making you in His Image and will not fail. Jesus is His Word, and even when we nail Him to the tree – especially when we nail Him to the tree – He does not fail. Even though we wrote ourselves out of the story; even though we cursed the Word, crucified the Plot and damned ourselves, even that is a story within The Story – The Father’s Story: The History of Time and the Genesis of you. * “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness’” (Gen. 1:26). * “So shall my Word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it” (Is. 55:11). * “And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good” (Gen. 1:31). God will finish what He started. And everything, everything, everything, will be very good… including you.

6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Dynamic Page-Turner! By J. Mclarty I see what Peter Hiett expresses here as applied theology. This is not by any means a religious book, although it is solidly founded on Scripture. Instead, in a lively and relevant way, Peter portrays the applied truth of Christ Jesus as our very salvation, as our formation from formless and void into Christ-likeness. For anyone who is not dogmatically constrained by their religious dogma, what is expressed here is pneuma, Spirit, a breath of fresh air to fortify anyone who desires to understand Christ as their very life. I won't give spoilers, but for those who enjoy being blown away by God's truth spoken in love, be ready for the whammers sown throughout this engaging book!

The Divine Storyteller of Our Lives By Sharon Hersh I grew up going to church - Sunday morning and evening, Wednesday evening, plus youth group - and I knew the Bible contained important information about God. I memorized entire chapters. I committed (a few times) to read the Bible in a year, and found some passages boring, some inspiring, and others challenging. And then my real life collided with all that I'd read and I was afraid I'd spent a lot of time reading a book that didn't have anything to do with my real life story. Peter Hiett suggests that God's first story about making us is not only the Index to all of the Bible, but to all of our lives. He suggests that God is actually the Grand Storyteller of all our lives and wants to be the beginning, the middle, and the ending of our stories. That means that from the beginning, God's story is the reference point for all our stories -- of desire and futility, of faith and doubt, of a sense of emptiness and our longing for Someone good to come along and be bigger than all our stories. I think that's what we all want, because that means that we don't have to save ourselves with the selves that got us into some messy places in our own stories in the first place. I don't understand all that Hiett writes (because he's a pretty smart guy), but I want his passion for the too-good-to-be-true news that the Grand Storyteller of our lives only writes good stories, and He is writing a good story in me. That means that He is not only writing me, but He is in me, and I am in Him. Thank goodness I don't have to know the words to write about God, because He is the only Word that makes sense in a world with way too many words. I know that everyone will not agree with this book and that doesn't worry me. I do worry that some will read (or not read) this book because they fear it is about a threatening punishing God, or an aloof intimidating God, or about a passive God who just sits back and leaves us to our own devices. Hiett challenges us to consider, imagine, and even wrestle with the Storyteller of our lives until we can surrender to The Truth that all of God's stories contain our stories; until we no longer try so hard to find our way to God because He has found The Way to us before time began; until the Bible is not merely informational and inspirational - but it becomes incarnational -- The Life that is in our flesh and blood stories. I hope you read this book -- not looking for a debate -- but looking for the One who has been looking for you all your life and won't stop looking until He finds you!

By Mark Nicholson Update --- I just finished the book (well I still have the appendix to go) and I only like the book more and can only think of more good things to say about it. I still have a hard time speaking objectively about it - it's like trying to speak objectively to your friends about why you just fell head over heels in love with the woman you're crazy about. I think each chapter is a treasure although there are some chapters that hit the ball out of the park for me and will become devotional material that I will read over and over again for years to come (like the one entitled Sabbath) and there are chapters for me like the ones on evil and sin where I'll keep reading them because I'm still pondering them to fully understand them.I think that Peter Hiett is the best author and preacher I know of, period. What makes him unique to me is his approach to scripture – he believes it, literally. Let me explain. Peter entered a crisis like many are going through when (1) he encountered scriptures that seem to indicate that God is a lot better than much of the Christian church had imagined – scriptures like 1st Timothy 4:10 where it says God “is the savior of all men, especially of believers” and (2) when he saw in his own experience as a parent that he wasn’t capable of doing some of the things that the church has said the Father is going to do. And yet we know from Jesus’ words in Matt 7:11 that whatever kind of parents we are as humans that God’s parenthood far eclipses ours in loving and giving. So, what was he do to in this crisis, a crisis caused by a clear vision of God’s unrelenting love on one hand and scriptures suggesting judgement and wrath on the other? Whereas some have chosen to weaken one or the other set of scriptures Peter chose to believe both and to preach and wrestle with them both till he finally broke through to a new paradigm – a paradigm that affirms all of scripture but one that shows that all of scripture correctly understood shows a picture of a relentless loving and victorious God or in Peter’s words “Jesus always wins, even when He loses. Especially when he loses, he wins.”If you like Robert Capon, to me Peter is in much the same vein but I like Peter’s writing and teaching even more as he has caused “lights to come on” for me beyond what Capon’s books did or said another way, I feel he builds and expands on what Capon did in his wonderful books. I would highly recommend checking out Peter’s sermons online which you can find at either his church (The Sanctuary Downtown) website or at their vimeo website. I will post a link in a comment to this review with a link to one of his sermon’s which is the best sermon I have ever heard in my life – it has the power to transform your life, to totally shift your paradigm because it is the gospel clearly presented.Original review ----I haven't finished reading this yet but I already believe it might be the most life changing and paradigm shifting book I have ever read. I won't go into the content here. I imagine the other reviews do a good job of that. I really like his use of graphics. It gives you a feel for his passion for communication. I find I sometimes have to read his writing a couple of times as he is not a shallow thinker. I would love to go to his church and am already planning how I can finagle a trip to Denver. I've already bought an extra copy for a friend and think I will probably buy many more. It's that good.
