The Questions God Asked: What They Reveal About Him, and About Us - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When God asks a question, it is never because he needs the answer.

"Where are you?" "What is that in your hand?" "What are you doing here, Elijah?" "Do you love me?" Throughout the Bible, Jehovah and his Son ask questions that reach straight to the heart. Each one was spoken to a real person at a turning point in life, and each one still speaks to us today.

The Questions God Asked explores eighteen of these searching questions, from the Garden of Eden to the shore of Galilee. You will meet Adam and Cain, Abraham and Sarah, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah, Job and Jonah, and see how Jesus lovingly restored Peter. Each chapter shows what the question reveals about God's patience, justice, wisdom and compassion, and what it reveals about us.

Inside you will find:

• Eighteen chapters in five clear parts
• Bible passages in plain, everyday English paraphrase, with every reference given so you can compare your own Bible
• The historical setting behind each question
• Practical lessons for daily life
• Chapter summaries and questions for personal reflection
• The Questions at a Glance and a full Scripture Index

Written in a warm, clear style that reads well in print or aloud, this book is ideal for personal study, family worship or quiet reflection. It invites you to consider one final question: How will you answer?
