Book Description

Ezekiel: God’s Presence in Performance is a four-session Bible study for individuals and groups. The study guide interprets the book of Ezekiel as a four-act drama to be told to adult, children, and youth groups living out their faith in a strange, new place. The book encourages congregations to listen to God’s call, accept where God has planted them, surrender the shame of their past, receive a new heart from God, and to allow God to breathe new life into them. As they do, God shows them a vision of another place that God builds called “The Lord is There.” This vision inspires them to rehearse the kind of life they will have in this new place that God is building. Instead of viewing Ezekiel as an interpreter of today’s world events, this study guide challenges readers to take Ezekiel’s vision of God’s presence into their daily lives and perform it to their community.
