The influential pastor and author of The Skeletons in God's Closet invites those trapped in doubt, shame, or disappointment to discover afresh the life-transforming truth that God is for you.
Have you ever wondered if God is on your side? If he's really for you?
It's easy to answer "Yes!" when life is going well. It's harder to believe when your marriage is imploding, your child is in the hospital, or a close friend betrays you.
Respected pastor and author Joshua Ryan Butler invites you to discover that, even when God feels like an aloof observer of your pain, he is right beside you, shielding and guiding you in ways you can't imagine.
This book is for those haunted by a nagging sense that God is indifferent or disapointed in them. Tracing key moments in the life of Jesus from the gospel of John, Butler helps us see:
• How God is present even when he seems silent • Why God's love is not deterred by doubt or sin • How to experience Jesus in a fresh way • How to overcome guilt, insecurity, and shame
Butler helps us see that our greatest comfort is not what we've done to win God's love, but all that God's love has done to win us. There is no truth more transforming than this: God is on your side. Joshua Ryan Butler is a pastor and the author of several acclaimed books, Beautiful Union, The Skeletons in God's Closet, and The Pursuing God. He and his wife, Holly, along with their three children, reside in Oregon.
