In this book Timothy D. Carroll unveils God as the source of being and integrating all the components of life, demonstrating the essential connection points within humanity's relationship to the divine, as portrayed within a matrix. Presenting God as the universal Father of humanity, he explains the significance of both the divine logos, where God is seen face-to-face with himself, and the humanity of the divine. Timothy does this all while keeping the reader mindful of his own origin, identity, and destiny. The unique blending of the spiritual and the theological makes this book profoundly accessible to both the young in faith and those who are mature, from the idea of a spiritual matrix to insights into the doctrine of hell, while closing the book with his own ninety-five theses on universal reconciliation and love.
Industry Reviews
“There have been several wonderful books, as of late, which have undone the hegemony of the commonly accepted, and unbiblical notion, of an endless ‘hell.’ Tim Carroll not only accomplishes this task, but goes on to describe the absolutely breathtaking vista that emerges once our illusions have been swept away. Not only is God uninterested in endless torture; God is bound and determined to reveal himself in you, and even as you. . . . Succinctly, brilliantly, and with an eye wide open to the historical veracity of his assertions, Carroll reveals the beauty that is Christ, the Original Matrix.”
—Peter Hiett, author of The History of Time and the Genesis of You
“This book provides an organic overview of how and why we should treasure interfacing with God. No easy task, yet God is unveiled here by Tim’s prismatic prose as attractive, approachable, accessible, and awe-inspiring. . . . As Tim sagely notes, we were created in God’s image, and with God’s substance. . . . God’s divine alchemy in blending and forming us into his image-bearers is both jaw-dropping and breathtaking.”
—Richard Murray, author of The Jesus Mood
“At this time in the history of the church and the world, when many are looking for more than theological answers, but genuine experience and reality, this book will help open the way and provide peace and rest to its readers.”
—Kay Fairchild, author of Living Out of Your Spiritual Resources
“The reader is skillfully guided from the lowlands of a casual relationship with a distant God to the supernal heights of the mighty Christ within each of us where God himself is heard, seen, touched, and experienced in all his glorious and eternal reality. It is there in the highlands of personal spiritual experience that the deep mystery of the Christ within as the origin and source of our life is disclosed—man created in the image and likeness of God. Tim masterfully shows how this wonderful purpose of knowing God face-to-face within ourselves is indeed both the origin and destiny of all mankind.”
