Selah PDF Download

Selah moments...are those times when we don't just live our life, we examine it. We read certain events through the contemplative lenses of our God-given reflectacles. Selah moments enable us to slow down and internalize the message of Scripture with our internal eyes. Selah moments provide us with an appropriate place to pause and appropriate God's Word into our lives. In the pages of this book, I have gathered together some of my Selah moments. At first glance, it might look like a random collection of stories, poems, insights, and homilies. However, each of these writings began as an entry in my journal--the place where I write about what I think about. As you read these journal entries, I believe that some of them will remind you of your own journey. The chapters are grouped around the cast of characters who have walked with me in my original road show: my family, people I've encountered along the way, the living words of Scripture, and my Heavenly Father. The personalities in your production will be as unique as you are, just as your story lines will be your own. But I believe there will be moments in the reading of this text where the differences in the details become less and less important as you say to yourself, "I get that," "I've felt the same way," "I've asked myself that very question," "I thought I was the only one who'd ever gone through that." As your emotions are engaged, I hope that your time in this book will become more and more like a conversation with a friend and fellow pilgrim. And I pray that the Selah Stuff in these pages will remind you to stop, look, and listen to what God is saying in the moments of your own life.
