Publisher's Summary:

John the apostle must have thought he had seen everything. Having been with Jesus all the years of his ministry, John witnessed more miracles than he could count, saw more displays of power than he could comprehend, and experienced more love than he could fathom. And one unforgettable morning, young John outran Peter to his Savior's empty tomb.

Just as Christ took John on a lifelong journey into the depths of His love, He will do the same for you. The bridegroom's love is unmatched and inexhaustible, and He is waiting to lavish it on you, His beloved. You will not be the same.

Could not even finish this book

Look I am a born again Christian who loves to read inspirational books about faith. I also like any good book that is challenging and intelligent and cerebral. I absolutely LOVE BETH MOORE. But this book is kinda slow and boring. If you have a very good working knowledge of the bible, and primarily the gospels, then this book may be too elementary for you. Yes, Beth does have a very warm way of bringing the listener in, but Im not a mushy gushy woman. If you are a mushy emotional woman who wants to get into the head of some of the gospel authors then this will probably be a good fit for you. If however you are a bras tax, show me a formula and a reason for the system type, then this book will bore you also. It was sweet and fine for a lot of people, just not for me.

Not a Serious Commentary on John's Gospel

I agree with the earlier review - I had trouble staying with this one.

One thing I do like about this work is that she definitely comes down on the side of the Beloved Disciple being John, rather than some otherwise unknown disciple as many NT scholars seem to think. This allows her to add some depth to his character and what was behind his writing.

It becomes something of a liability for Ms. Moore, however, as she spends almost half of the book talking about the Life of Jesus before she actually gets into John's Gospel. That may be okay for some people, but you just need to understand that this is not a serious commentary on the Gospel itself.

She seems to be writing in a daily journal and sharing her thoughts with the reader. Again, that's fine if it's what you're looking for. But frankly I don't care if she's having a bad day when she's writing a particular passage or not, and I don't care if she's so excited about what she's writing that she is standing up while she's typing.

And I'm really not interested in her life or her experiences or the struggles she has had to endure personally. I just wanted some insight into John's Gospel, and there wasn't nearly enough of that in this book.

If you want something that's touchy-feely, that makes you feel like you're spending time with an imaginary friend over a cup of chamomile tea, then this book may be for you. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed.

As always Beth Moore delivers a great book.

What made the experience of listening to The Beloved Disciple the most enjoyable?

I have to say I found the reader of this book was boring. I did not enjoy listening due to that fact.

It's a good translation, well read. (They tell me I haven't written enough words, but maybe now I have.) What more need be said?

Title: If God Is Good

Subtitle: Faith in the Midst of Suffering and Evil

Author: Randy Alcorn

Narrator: Will Matthews

Format: Unabridged

Length: 24 hrs and 47 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-18-09

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 92 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Every one of us will experience suffering. Many of us are experiencing it now. As we have seen in recent years, evil is real in our world, present and close to each one of us.

In such difficult times, suffering and evil beg questions about God--Why would an all-good and all-powerful God create a world full of evil and suffering? And then, how can there be a God if suffering and evil exist?

These are ancient questions, but also modern ones as well. Atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and even former believers like Bart Ehrman answer the question simply: The existence of suffering and evil proves there is no God.

In this captivating new book, best-selling author Randy Alcorn challenges the logic of disbelief, and brings a fresh, realistic, and thoroughly biblical insight to the issues these important questions raise.

Alcorn offers insights from his conversations with men and women whose lives have been torn apart by suffering, and yet whose faith in God burns brighter than ever. He reveals the big picture of who God is and what God is doing in the world, now and forever. And he equips you to share your faith more clearly and genuinely in this world of pain and fear.

As he did in his best-selling book, Heaven, Randy Alcorn delves deep into a profound subject, and through compelling stories, provocative questions and answers, and keen biblical understanding, he brings assurance and hope to all.

Perhaps The Most Important Christian Book In Print

Randy Alcorn has tackled the toughest challenge believers will ever face: How to defend the idea that a good God could and does permit evil to flourish. Believers may read this book for spiritual growth. Unbelievers may read it for intellectual stimulation. I am reading it to help make sense of the viciously painful, chronically disabling illness with which I have unexpectedly been stricken. My illness defies diagnosis and is probably incurable but it has driven me to this book and this book has been tremendously helpful in transforming my contingent faith into a transcendent faith. I am beginning to see that transformation as far more valuable than the restoration of my health. Healing won't help me deal with the next calamity which comes my way. God's Word, elucidated by this book, will and is.

Highly Recommend for people wanting to get closer

This book has changed my life, a lot of my views were distorted and plain wrong. This book helped me figure out who god is and what he wants. If someone is looking for answers to all the hard questions whether you like them or not. This is it, I will use this book as reference for the rest of my life. Besides the Bible probably the single most interesting and thought provoking book I have ever read or listened to.

Deep and Wide

Would you consider the audio edition of If God Is Good to be better than the print version?

That's a toss-up. I'm an audible learner, so this fits my style of learning perfectly. However, the apologetics approach to Grace and Mercy is deep, rich, and sometimes complicated. Reading in print might have been better for some of the more demanding chapters.

What did you like best about this story?

Alcorn uses style and tone to make his theology come more alive than many.

Members Reviews:

Often beautiful and poetic...

as Tozer rhapsodizes about the qualities of the divine. Some of the material here has appeared in other volumes--either that, or Tozer had a tendency to use a lot of the same examples and metaphors repeatedly--but most of it is worth hearing again. The one flaw in Tozer is that sometimes he can fall into circular logic, especially when he appeals to the intellect to understand the limits of the intellect in comprehending the attributes of God.

Awakening

I almost didn't get this one since I already had Volume 1 which is quite substantial.

I'm glad I didn't make that mistake, this takes it a step further into a more personal Awakening of Gods personal relationship to us, and how all His attributes engage that in his Pursuit Of Love for us.

Inspiring!

The words of Tozer reveal the heart of God like few others in my experience. The God that Tozer introduces us to is deeper, richer fuller, with more awesome power and majesty than the God that is commonly preached today. As Tozer states, "We have lost the sense of the holiness of God". (My paraphrase.). Tozer calls us back.

The narration of Michael Kramer is perfect. His gentle, soft-spoken, conversational style makes one feel that he is talking with Tozer himself.

Tozer this Summer

I am enjoying learning all the Attributes of God. The narrator is very good and I can actually visualize what he is saying. These are the best types of narrations, when it makes you use your imagination.

these 2 volumes have replaced my previous favorite

I really appreciated these two books compared to knowledge of the Holy. more time was spent by tozer explaining each point which allowed for things to sink in much better.

Members Reviews:

Bravo! Incredibly Inspiring and Uplifting!

To me this material is wonderful and amazingly easy to understand.The narrator is absolutely perfect for this material! I couldn't stop listening once I'd begun, and I immediately listened to it again. (I'm listening to "He Is There and He Is Not Silent" right now.) There is much in this material for everyone, and it's presented in a way that allows you to take it into your heart and begin right in the moment to change and to see who you are meant to be. Some of the insights are so striking to me and answered questions that I've had most of my life. You may be thinking that I'm pretty ignorant, but you'd be wrong. I've studied the Bible my whole life and I'm 71 years old. I've written Bible lessons that are going into many parts of the world, which I tell you to impress on your heart the need to listen to this material. I honestly believe that everyone who hears Schaeffer's message will make the world a better place. I'm not a member of the same church as Schaeffer was, but he has converted my heart to his way of thinking and living. And I'll add that I've had a sensation of joy and peace that I haven't known for many years since listening to this audio book. As you can imagine, I'm very thankful for the gift of this message.

Changed my life!

What made the experience of listening to True Spirituality the most enjoyable?

A clear reminder that our Christian lives from start to finish is by faith in the gospel of Christ dying for us and we dying in Christ, being buried with Christ, and being raised with Christ. We live a life worthy of the gospel.

What did you like best about this story?

The first seven chapters were doctrinal and the last seven practical

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Find Christ / Find Life

Any additional comments?

Just a very rewarding book that helps me put my daily life in focus

Highly recommend

A definitive work on true Christianity. Also Grover Gardner does a great job at reading.

Encouraging and convicting

Enjoyable.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the reading of this book and that it kept my last reading position upon my return each time.

Truly Liberating

Schaeffer brings such a great balance to Christian living. I find myself yearning for a deeper walk with Christ after reading True Spirituality.
