A Place for Me in God's Tent Terry Murphy Revised edition

The tabernacle in the wilderness is the perfect place to visualize how the LORD yearns to be Emmanuel-God with us. Using a devotional format, Terry Murphy takes the reader on a step by step, personal tour of this holy habitation to discover we not only have place in God, He has a place in us.

Set up in three six-week parts (The Tabernacle and Me, The Tabernacle and We, and The Tabernacle and He), this book is designed to be flexible. Part One shows the tent depicting the individual as God's home, Part Two focuses on the family as the tent in which He dwells, and Part Three relates the tabernacle to Christ Himself as our abiding place. Readers can go through all ninety devotions at once, or take breaks between the sections and then continue. If time is short, they can read only the devotion and prayer. If they prefer to linger, they can move on to the "Deeper Still" segment to discover how Scripture echoes the theme elsewhere. Journal-lovers will find prompts to lead them in further reflections. Those who enjoy group discovery can find discussion questions at the end of each week's readings to initiate conversation.

Wherever the reader looks in the tabernacle, he or she will discover Christ is in us and we are in Him.
