With: Reimagining the Way You Relate to God

We are using the wrong prepositions when we think of God, author Skye Jethani tells us in this new book, With. We are trying to live life under God, over God, from God, or for God, but God does not desire any of this. God wants us to be with Him.

Jethani outlines the errors in our thinking that lead us off, desperately trying to live under or over or from or for. He shows all the destructive ways we end up living by trying to have a relationship with God using the wrong preposition. Then he shows ways that we can live fully with God, in a rich life with faith, hope, and love.

I question why Jethani chooses the wrong conjunction. He seems to believe God wants us to choose to live under Him or over Him or from Him or for Him or with Him. Isn't it possible that we live under Him and over Him and from Him and for Him and with Him? (Though, perhaps, I am imagining that God would not really want us ever living over Him....)

He includes a useful appendix that reveals ways to live with God. There is also an appendix with discussion questions for group work using the book.
