"Tell Them Who I Am": Representing an Often-Misrepresented God (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781524571795)

Tell Them Who I Am: Representing an Often Misrepresented God is a book written to help new and old believers know the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob more intimately. As Christianity is usually misrepresented as being primarily about sin, judgment, restriction, self-denial, and boredom, this book describes a God of love, grace, peace, acceptance, salvation, and intimacy. The author describes a god that longs to have an intimate relationship with his children and longs to help his children understand missed opportunities to see the personal stumbling blocks that bring about trials and suffering. This book addresses common and controversial topics that Christian believers confront every day and explains why the book of Job needs to be compared to the rest of God's word. Each chapter is not a series of decontextualized Bible verses, but provides holistic perspectives of topics, explained through the lens of a loving god.
