Our God Is Awesome PDF Download

Journeying through life's endeavors that succeeded a nearly fatal electrocution at eleven years old, followed by infrequent inexplicable childhood seizures, Ifedi takes the reader through a voyage of the heartbreak, challenge, growth, and divine adventures that have shaped her intimate belief in a loving and all-powerful God. Growing up in her native Nigeria, in a loving middle-class family, that yet suffered the loss of their physician father at age 42 when she was 4, she graduates college at 18 and soon finds herself in the U.S. As many immigrants, she worked her way up to academia, pastoral role and to inaugural chair of the first state commission for African immigrants in Ohio. In "'My Darling Jesus!': A Simple Walk with an Awesome God," Ifedi invites you into the intricacies of her life with a simple intent-to draw you closer to the Divine through the stories of her innate desire to meet God throughout her life. As she weaves in reflections on faith, she portrays an unapologetic certainty about the person of God in the Trinity. For her, faith is both spiritual and secular. It is not to be preached and theorized on Sundays but it manifests in tangible and practical ways in her daily lived experiences. She speaks of a God full of audacity, mystery, and delight-One depicted in a way that you may have never dared to imagine. Ifedi acknowledges that only grace could make such a life possible. She "proves" that Love wins above all and in every circumstance because an intentional, sovereign and awesome God is a God who is Love, and His love for her has been inescapable. Be prepared to learn, be challenged, and laugh as you course through this witty and raw memoir and spiritual guide on maneuvering through the passages of life, walking alongside Jesus Christ.
