Christopher Wright has done it again!
(If you missed Mission of God go get it!)
His latest book, the God i don't understand, is a cut-the-guts-out-and-examine-them look at faith and the questions people ask about God and the world around them.Why do we hurt, and hurt others?
Why do some of us believe in something called 'evil'?
What on earth was God thinking in His actions recorded in the Old Testament?
And how is this world really going to end? Really???

Wright uses scripture artfully and wisdom prudently to peel the layers of faith back and look into a sometimes mysterious, often misunderstood, sometimes confusing core. The mass of material and open attitude to learning and finding answers is refreshing. Rarely does a book ask the hard questions and then offer explanations and possibilities with the encouragement to keep seeking more answers and solutions.
Again and again i was reminded to head back to the Bible, to dig in, struggle with the questions that do pop up and then hold on to my hat as more of the world and God are pulled into the light.
