Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Ezekiel begins with a strange vision, full of chariots and fire, living creatures with wings and too many faces, and a throne floating through the air. It ends with a vision of a new era for God's people - the beginning of a new manner of life with God. In between are some of the most puzzling passages in all of prophetic literature. Ezekiel's meaning for our times is not an easy one to grasp. In this insightful and highly readable study, Jon Berquist leads the reader through a lucid exploration of Ezekiel's complex visions. The result is a moving account of one prophet's wrestling with the issue of God's ever-surprising presence.
