Résumé : | "God told me..." - "God sees you" - "God never sends us burdens greater than we can bear". We hear (and use) pious clichés and churchly lingo all the time. Opening a keen ear, the author has collected more than forty phrases that describe incidents in the christian life - from before birth ("the quick and dead) to after death ("mansions of glory"). And he's noticed that sometimes we use God talk to dull and close ourselves to life's surprising of difficult moments. |
