Produktbeschreibung
In our hyper-virtual world, oozing with the effects of artificial intelligence, the very idea of a real God seems painfully antiquated. The only real gods are those we create, manipulate and control. These are the gods of our own making, made in our images as we supplant God with idols. The God of the Bible appears dead. And yet, for over 30 years I have encountered this seemingly imaginary God in a very intimate way. More specifically, my encounters with God have often been of a prophetic nature, yes, like in the Bible's old testament. These experiences were bewildering the first few years, but I became more accustomed as time passed. My experiences and understanding of them is accounted here in these pages. Before my time on earth was finished, these stories needed to be written down, and so they are here for your edification. Whether these accounts are believable or meaningful is at the discretion of the reader, for good or bad. My work was to finally bring them to bare, and in this effort my work is nearing complete. Death is our final event in life, and each of us must face it alone. If God does exist, will you be ready to speak to him face to face? Have you considered what's next? If you have never talked to God, please consider doing so, even for a moment. Perhaps, you might be surprised ... especially if he replies.

She remains close with her two adult children, one of whom is a believing member of the church and the other who is a transgender man that has also left the church.Chris's other works include contributing an essay about her experience of being queer in the LDS church in an anthology called I Spoke to You with Silence, published in 2022 by the University of Utah Press. She lives quite happily in her home state of Maine. You can connect with Chris and explore other podcasts and public appearances on her website: ChrisDavisProud.com.
