God Breathed: Connecting through Scripture to God, Others, the Natural World, and Yourself

“I talk a lot of nonsense to myself. With age, though, I’m realizing more deeply how I have to listen to God speak, to his definition of who I am, what I need, and what he has secured for me in Christ. This is a fantastic book for anyone looking for better answers than usual to the questions of our contemporary culture and our own hearts.”

"...this is an extraordinary book... Imaginative, engaging, humorous and thoroughly orthodox."

“I was very heartened to see someone write a book as brave and honest as this one. Scholarly, engaging, and remarkably accessible, this book takes history seriously and refuses to simplify complex issues. Drawing from early Church fathers through Descartes, Kant, and Nietzsche to purveyors of pop culture and advocates of atheism, Rut addresses contemporary cultural issues from a perspective many would prefer not to consider—but that cannot be ignored.”

“Whereas many critiques of culture complain and scold, Etheridge decides instead to explain and counsel—and does so supremely well. He speaks to people both inside and outside the church, as well as those feeling caught in between. His message about Christianity and contemporary culture is clear. Each chapter feels like it was written with both passion and compassion.”

“This book actually changed my life. The last chapter healed deep things in my heart...I still cry when I think of it.”
