'Is the Lord among us or not?' is no idle question. It comes from the painful messiness of living and strikes at the heart of human insecurity and fear as well as the need not to feel alone. But how sure are we that we really want the Lord to be among us' Do we actually want to encounter God' Or would we rather be left alone, doing what we want to do and calling that the will of God' In this new collection of sermons, Elaine Farmer explores these and other questions of what it means to be human what God's view of all this might be.
