The Goodness of God

The Goodness of God- By Randy Alcorn

Randy Alcorn offers something solid to hold onto in the midst of trial and tribulation. When the world brings you down or when you're suffering or sad or in pain He speaks truth into your life via his book The Goodness of God which is a condensed and more focused version of his other book, If God is Good. Randy offers many bold statements in his books and these are just a few:

"any faith that leaves us unprepared for suffering is a false faith that deserves to be abandoned." (pg.5)

"Worry is momentary atheism, crying out for correction by trust in a good and sovereign God." (pg.110)

Randy doesn't provide superficial words of hope and his book definitely isn't one of those feel good books. It is meant to get you out of the mind set of suffering and to realize God's truths and God's love and to provide you with that knowledge base so that the next time you are down or suffering you can easily hold onto God's promises.

This book is definitely a great one for all Christians to read and even those who want to explore and learn more about God.

I received this book for free for review from Waterbrook Multnomah.
