Where is God, is not a question but rather a protest


Where is God is not a question, rather it is a protest.” Is a statement from Dr John Townsends new book titled “Where is God” First let me say that even the cover has you looking for “God” The title is the same color and the background and has you searching for it. Just like many off us today we are searching for God and wanting to know if in fact he is there.
But Dr. Townsend helps to illustrate the point that God is in fact there. We are the ones that are standing the way of allowing God to enter our lives. The World is going to hell in a hand basket and we can only stop and ask “Where are you God, way have you left” But God in fact as not left, he is there waiting for us to call upon Him.

Dr Townsend tells a story of a lady that was pushing her husband to communicate with her, she was terrible upset with the fact that she was not getting what she wanted and was at breaking point. But Dr Townsend put it best when he stated that God does not push us to communicate with him, he lets us know that he is there and waits for us to come unto Him.
At this point in time when there has been so much sadness in the world a book like this is just want is needed. This book should be bought and read and reread and come to truly understand that the question of “where is God,” is not the questions we need to ask, the question we need to ask is found in this wonderful book.

Thanks to Thomas Nelson for my Free advance copy of this book.

NKLV Greatest Stories of the Bible


Thomas Nelson’s NKJV Greatest Stories of the Bible is a must have in every home. In the introduction of the book it states: “Designed as a treasury of the most well-loved and impactful stories from the bible.” Is goes on to say “this is not a bible….this heirloom edition uses scripture portions from the NKJV to tell the story of God and His interaction with humankind.”

This book is very well done. The cover give you the old worn family bible look and the it reads like a novel and not the way normal scriptures verses are writing. I have read the King James Version of the bible my whole life this is the first I have read a New King James Version and the way this is done helps me to understand the bible better then I have before. I love this version and it will make a great family gift to all of my brothers and sisters this year for Christmas.

Thanks Thomas Nelson for an advance copies of this great book. Please visit www.thomasnelson.com for more.
