As a girl, Alia Joy came face to face with weakness, poverty, and loss in ways that made her doubt God was good. There were times when it felt as if God had abandoned her. What she didn't realize then was that God was always there, calling her to abandon herself. In this deeply personal exploration of what it means to be "poor in spirit," Joy challenges our cultural proclivity to "pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps." She calls on readers to embrace true vulnerability and authenticity with God and with one another, showing how weakness does not disqualify us from inclusion in the kingdom of God--instead, it is our very invitation to enter in. Anyone who has struggled with feeling inadequate, disillusioned, or just too broken will find hope. This message is an antidote to despair, helping readers reclaim the ways God is good, even when life is anything but.

If God is good, then why did he do that? Violent wars, harsh laws, pronounced judgments. Christianity proclaims God’s goodness, yet the Bible is filled with passages that seem to paint a different picture. On the surface, such depictions can hinder our confidence in God’s goodness. But when we’re willing to look deeper, we discover a consistent purpose behind everything God does—and that he is greater than we could ever imagine. Alongside bestselling author Josh McDowell, Matthew Tingblad invites you to discover how a good God has good reasons for his challenging actions in the Bible. Throughout, you will uncover the reality of God’s consistent motives and purposes: holiness, justice, and radical mercy. Whether you have your own questions about God or are ministering to those who do, Matthew and Josh will guide you through these difficult passages and ideas, all the while pointing to God’s power and redeeming love. Find confidence and joy in discovering that God is good—always good—even in the passages of Scripture that appear to convey otherwise.

When you make this paradigm shift, when you see your spiritual life through this lens, then religion changes to relationship, performance gives way to acceptance, the pursuit of knowledge becomes the experience of intimacy, and the Bible becomes a book of God's longing to communicate His pursuit of you. InFaith Painting, Shawn Taylor challenges our unconscious notions of what matters most to the Father and our means of gaining His acceptance. As people desperately seeking an encounter with God, it appears we have settled for 'being in the presence of one who was in the presence' of God, rather than finding that intimate relationship ourselves. We assume what we do is what matters most, yet we're surprised when the Father doesn't applaud our performance. For leaders, the temptation to bow to the cultural demand for showmanship is even greater. In a culture that worships athletes, idolizes singers, and exalts actors, is it really any wonder that church leaders are expected to command attention? Those at the pulpit are often more preoccupied with being dynamic speakers and attracting great crowds of people than ushering individuals into an intimate relationship with the Father. Jesus called for a different standard. As you read through the pages of this book, you'll begin a journey to discover God's heart. You'll be reminded that the creator of heaven and earth seeks a heart encounter with you which is not interpreted through a person on a platform. When God shows up in person, life changes.
