Inhaltsangabe

Have we lost more than our attention?

We live in a world of constant screens, endless entertainment, and ready-made images. Every quiet moment can be filled before our minds have a chance to wander, wonder, remember, dream—or simply think about God.

In Regaining Our Holy Imagination, Dr. Rich Johnson explores what may be one of the quieter spiritual losses of our time: the weakening of our God-given capacity to imagine.

This is not a book against technology, nor is it an invitation to escape reality. It is a warm, practical call to recover the inner space where memory, creativity, Scripture, prayer, hope, and wonder can come alive again.

With humor, personal stories, biblical reflection, and insights from contemporary writers on creativity, attention, and spiritual formation, Rich explores how imagination can be crowded, wounded, misdirected—and ultimately surrendered to Jesus.

Along the way, you’ll discover how to:

  • Recover the gift of quiet and unfilled space
  • Understand how constant digital input affects imagination
  • Read Scripture with greater attentiveness and wonder
  • Bring dreams, desires, fears, and expectations under Christ’s lordship
  • Learn to dream with God without confusing desire with direction
  • Practice wonder in ordinary life
  • Rediscover the capacity to “see Him who is invisible”

At the heart of the book is a simple conviction:

Surrender doesn’t kill imagination. Surrender makes imagination safe again.

Holy imagination is not pretending that whatever we picture will come true. It is learning to see reality with God in the room—to remember His faithfulness, wonder about His goodness, hope in His promises, and remain open to what He may yet do.

If your inner world has become crowded, distracted, disappointed, or simply tired, this little book is an invitation to look out the window again—and perhaps, beyond the window, to wonder again about God.
