It comes from the Latin \u003ci\u003erevertere\u003c\/i\u003e. In his 4th century Latin translation of the Bible, Jerome used \u003ci\u003erevertere\u003c\/i\u003e dozens of times - it's a common concept, after all - but never more powerfully than when exhorting us to \"return to God.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReturning to God implies that we started with him in the first place - and, in fact, that's what the whole Bible is about: a return to peace, wholeness, and relationship with God. We had it in Eden; we lost it when we preferred our own way; and even though we hate our suffering and brokenness - we still want our own way. We want to have our poison and eat it, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut our Creator loves us - so he ate the poison and gave us cake. Put another way, he drank the cup of wrath so we could drink the cup of blessing. He reversed the inevitability of Death by dying and returning to Life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat reversal is the true story that is echoed in all happy endings printed by Reverted Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud\u003cbr\u003eand your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.\u003cbr\u003eIsaiah 44:22\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 124\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 22, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48289378238713,"sku":"9798993863313","price":10.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/r_dmkU8QpB9798993863313.webp?v=1776263409","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/a-truth-occasionally-acknowledged-a-jane-austen-novella-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
