Summary:
"There are hundreds of metaphors for God, but the church only uses a few familiar images: creator, judge, savior, father. In [this book], Lauren Winner gathers a number of lesser-known tropes, reflecting on how they work biblically and culturally, and reveals how they can deepen our spiritual lives"--Amazon.com.
