God Does Not...
Brent Laytham (Ed)Paperback 2009-01-01
Publisher Description
God Does Not . . . challenges several widespread misconceptions of how God works in the world. * ??Joel Shuman reveals that although God does not wear a white coat and always cure, he always heals. * ?Daniel Bell argues that the logic of blood sacrifice permeates today's culture and challenges the notion of redemptive violence. * ?Kelly Johnson shows that the frenetic pace of daily life does not mesh with God's patient peace. ?Does God write the perfect love story for each of us?* Margaret Kim Peterson and Dwight Peterson help us see how our idea of God's plan for love and marriage is distorted by our desire for Hollywood happy endings. * ?Jason Byassee cautions against revering contemporary cinema too highly and concludes that God's church is where the action is. * ?And finally, D. Brent Laytham paints a picture of God's work in the world through the lens of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
?A follow-up to the popular God Is Not . . ., this book is both accessible and provocative. In the end, we are left not with a negation of what God does, but an affirmation of a God who does all things well.
