Book excerpt: Is your God too safe? We human beings have an unhealthy tendency to domesticate God--to fashion a comfortable, predictable deity who will cater to our whims and accommodate our preferences. Fortunately, for our sakes, the words and actions of the God revealed in Scripture are far more radical and provocative than any deity our imaginations could concoct. With a writing style both readable and theologically deep, pastor and author Dan Lacich investigates some of the most compelling--and sometimes irritating--passages found in the Bible and uncovers what they tell us about the Author Himself. Is Jesus truly the only way to Heaven? Why is the resurrection so important? What does the Bible mean when it tells us to "work out our salvation"? Are we actually supposed to love our enemies? Is it possible for a Christian to avoid suffering? What does it really mean to be "unequally yoked"? Dr. Lacich addresses these and many more questions with compassionate yet straightforward answers from Scripture, and he gives readers the tools to continue discovering truth as they explore the Bible for themselves.
