Assuredly God IS! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781978472488)

This book is partly a response to The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, given to me by a friend who is seeking for God. He asked me to let him know my thoughts on the book. My friend is struggling but looking in all the wrong places. It has also been written for the benefit of another friend, one who is a confirmed atheist yet he appreciates my writing and theology. The title of the book says it all. It is easy to discount God until the search for Him by individuals is not only serious but focused on God without being distracted by the thoughts of men who think they are essential to the academic world, even in the area of the Christian faith. At someone's suggestion the first chapter is called The Dawkins Delusion which explains why Dawkins' book is so fatally flawed whilst offering counter arguments that have provided good reasons for the subject matter of this book. Starting with why the acceptance of God is true reality, the book progresses through an explanation of God as Father of the human race, the Israelites being God's chosen channel of communications with mankind, and identifying messengers of God. A chapter has been included in edition 2 on the prophet Jonah because so many discount him as a real prophet. One reason is because they cannot believe that he was brought to life by God after drowning as he sank to the bottom of the sea and was then transported back to land in the belly of a big fish, possibly a whale. Proof is given in the book that such a thing isn't so fanciful as some might think. There is also the interesting fact that Jonah's book is the only first testament book that does not mention, or be concerned with Israel. As the Lord Jesu Christ specifically referred to Jonah, it is important to understand why the book is very important and helps us understand why it can be said that 'Assuredly God IS!' The consistency of the Bible and the way the first testament is so vital to the second testament is highlighted in the chapter on Isaiah 53, and how all that happened in the life of Christ is so accurately prophesied. The purpose of His sacrifice is also considered. Then follows a chapter on the importance of the purity of faith, which focuses on part of the book of Ezekiel, which we would do well to think about very carefully. The final chapter focuses on the glory that is to come, according to the Revelation of John. This book provides clear and unambiguous instructions on what the Christian faith is all about and how to find God, with substantiated proof that Assuredly God IS!
