Description
*Condition Note: Book is in good condition and clean inside.*
Does prayer get God to want to do things He didn't want to do before? Why did God have to kill Uzzah just for trying to keep the ark upright on the cart? How does one Person's death pay for everybody else's? Why are some healed and others aren't? How can God say "perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18), and then have a time of trouble?
This book is about questions about God. If you, like author and pastor Dan Smith, you have struggled for years with questions you've always wanted the answers to, but were afraid to ask openly, this is the book for you.
"This is my attempt to let you look over my shoulder as I wrestle with the questions," says Smith. "It doesn't claim to have complete answers, or perfect answers. But maybe we will at least stake out a little more territory in our battle with the questions about God that have bedeviled believers and seekers for thousands of years."
Questions about God's wrath and His mercy, about His need for and response to prayer, about the punishment of the wicked, suffering, the Cross, and more are dealt with in sincerity, and with refreshing honesty. Your grip on God will definitely be strengthened by spending time with this unique and reveling book.
