SUMMARY:Visiting Author - Kevin Shinn - A Different Metaphor: Faith That Imagines The Impossible
DESCRIPTION:Join us once again in welcoming Kevin Shinn to Francie & Finch Bookshop. He will be signing copies of his new book A Different Metaphor: Faith That Imagines The Impossible and will share his story about the circumstances around which this book was conceived.\nThis title releases on January 21st.\nPre-order is available by contacting Francie & Finch Bookshop at 402.781.0459.\nCopies will also be available for purchase at the event.\nAbout the Book: \nSome of us don’t need a new faith. We need a different metaphor.\n\nIf our faith seems irrelevant and lifeless\, it may have nothing to do with our faith but the inadequate language we use to define it.\n\nWe do not comprehend the Divine apart from metaphor. Creative language helps us grasp an idea of what God might be like\, so we use terms like my Maker\, my Creator\, my Father. An immature\, inadequate\, or incomplete metaphor can limit my faith. Therefore\, it is vital to examine the way we look at the divine. We may call God Father\, but what type of father do we believe him to be?\nAbout the Author:\n \nKevin Shinn is a chef and writer living in Lincoln\, NE. He currently owns and operates The Portico\, a unique micro restaurant hidden away amid the garden in his backyard. Before becoming a professional chef\, he was a collegiate pastor for 18 years on campuses in California and Nebraska. It was the combination of these two careers that have influenced the writing of his current book\, A Different Metaphor. \nKevin’s voice in his writing is best described as kind. He writes as if he was having a conversation with you\, not presenting a lecture. He describes his core interests in these three ways: \nHaving important conversations. \nKevin has learned the simplest way to a good conversation is to ask questions and listen. If I do those two things regularly\, I find my way into many discussions that matter. \nSetting the table. \nTo Kevin\, his work as a chef is more than just cooking. It involves planning the entire meal with the guest directly in mind. It means preparing the environment and considering what will bring you delight. This is where his chef skills and his pastoral gifting intersect in a unique way. \nSeeing ideas become reality. \nKevin has been a gardener much longer than he’s been a pastor or chef. He recalls the fascination as a child in watching a seed grow into a fruitful cherry tomato plant. He draws on this foundational experience over and over again\, as it helped forge in him the patience to allow the process to unfold in seeing any idea or dream come to fulfillment. \n  \n
