Godforsaken: Bad Things Happen. Is there a God who cares? Yes. Here's proof.

By: Dinesh D'Souza

I’m really glad I have read this book. In Godforsaken, D'Souza tackles what is perhaps one of the most important questions ever posed: How can God be good and still allow evil and suffering in this world? I think that most of us would love to know the answer to this question. D'Souza provides strong, reasonable answers to this and provides powerful arguments to Christian apologists. His strongest arguments are on moral evil and free will. I’m the kind of reader will just appreciate one chapter from any book that I read. In Part 3: Moral Evil (Chapter 5) Free to Choose: Omnipotence and Human Freedom is well worth the read of this book. I don’t want give the farm away to readers who have not read this book.

This is a must read for all Christian who called himself a Christian apologist. In Godforsaken, D'Souza provided many solid answers. “How can God be good and still allow evil and suffering in this world?” to our Atheist friends like Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens. Please buy a copy for your church library as well.

The Call to Wonder: Loving God like a Child by R.C. Sproul Jr.

The Call to Wonder: Loving God like a Child by R.C. Sproul Jr.

Let’s face it, no man like to be called a “child”. We are living in a time even a child desire to be called man.

This book is scriptural challenge from Matthew 18:3 [Jesus said,] “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and becomes as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”

How deceitful man can be by thinking all his theological study will measure him to spiritual maturity as man and yet R.C. Sproul Jr. humble us by saying “We should never equate theological snobbery with spiritual maturity.” Just on Chapter 7 alone “The Call to Maturity” is well worth the price of this book. And I was much moved by the closing chapter of this book where R.C. Sproul Jr give thanks to the Lord not only for “previous blessings” (his late wife) but also give thanks “for challenges and for the relief from those challenges.” (pg 171)

I can’t commend it highly enough. Jerry Bridges said it all from the opening page of this book.
