Publisher's Description
Timothy Willard and Jason Locy show readers how to discover the brilliance of God in the shadows of everyday life. Life opens up before each of us, it beckons, it tempts, it thrills, it betrays. And what do we desire? All of it and none of it. We’re not in this to survive, but to live. We want to experience joy in the everyday grind of work, relationships, and parenting. We want healing in our suffering. Forgiveness in the midst of our pains. Purpose through the journey. We want to break free from the temporal and live with an eternal perspective. We want to be brilliant. In Home Behind The Sun coauthors Timothy Willard and Jason Locy invite you to step out of the shadows and into the brilliance. They want to introduce you to the God of the mysterious. A God who combats despair with joy, topples bitterness with forgiveness, and eliminates cynicism with belief and whimsy. You’re invited home. Home, behind the sun.

“Home Behind the Sun is so elegant and moving that it nearly took my breath away. The prose glimmers and rattles and nearly every page forced me to wrestle with important questions about joy, whimsy, imagination, and purpose. Home Behind the Sun is a poetic portrait of God’s glory that is as brave as it is beautiful. As you read, breathe deeply.”
“I’m convicted by the precise reflections and tempered provocations my dear friends, Jason Locy and Timothy Willard, deliver in Home Behind the Sun. Put this book on your coffee table and read one chapter each weekend. You will see what I mean. A brilliant exposé of what really matters in life, just when it seemed we were about to forget.”
“In Home Behind the Sun, Jason Locy and Timothy Willard show us how to let the brilliance of God’s presence shine through every nook and cranny of our lives. This book is a cool drink of water on a hot day for busy leaders who don’t stop enough to consider God’s glory; I highly recommend it.”
“Jason and Tim write with such convicted honesty, you’ll pause midsentence to reflect. They stir our imaginations toward a brilliant life, with a gracious exposure to the blind spots in each of us.”
“Home Behind the Sun is a beautiful, intelligent, weighty collection. I loved it, and I can’t wait to share it with people who, like me, like nothing better than to lose themselves in graceful language and find themselves in resounding themes.”
“Few authors possess the gift of transporting readers into otherworldly regions, far away from the din and clamor this planet offers. In Home Behind the Sun, Tim and Jason serve as your tour guides, weaving their words, to lead you down unexplored pathways. Through your journeys, you’ll discover a rich and robust Faith—the answer to your homesickness you’ve felt from the very beginning.”
“To a crazy busy, on-the-go generation, my friends Tim and Jason offer upside-down advice: stop, reflect, wait on God. With masterful storytelling, the authors call us to see where our identity truly lies. Home Behind the Sun reminds us we are part of a greater story than we ever dreamed or imagined.”
