"The Really Good News About God" discusses the God of the Bible and his gracious, all-inclusive plans for his creation.
It will surprise and delight those who might think that
- God doesn't exist; or
- God is a kind, white-bearded old man who lives, somewhat disinterestedly, somewhere out there; or
- God is a mean-spirited judge keeping score of our sins and waiting to use them to consign us to an eternity in a fiery hell?
"The Really Good News About God" shows how the Bible reveals a God of unfailing love and extravagant grace with a wonderful plan to include all of us, good and bad alike eventually, in his eternal family.
