Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: When God Plays Hard to Get : Part 1
What is so wrong with being nice? Nothing. But the God of the Bible is not nice. This book will bring us back to the God of the Bible. Not the God we like or the way we wish he were. But the very God of the Bible-unembellished, unvarnished-as he really is

Chapter 1: When God Plays Hard to Get : Part 2
The context of this verse in Psalm 50 is that, though the world is His and although He has cattle on a thousand hills, my God is hungry for me. Though He has countless angels beyond millions and billions, not to mention other people all over the world

Chapter 1: When God Plays Hard to Get : Part 3
You might think God would be nice and immediately acknowledge those who sincerely seek His face with a tangible sign on a silver platter. He might have been nice to Martin Luther the night that courageous man stood before the authorities at Worms, Germany



Book Description

What is so wrong with being nice? Nothing. But the God of the Bible is not nice. This book will bring us back to the God of the Bible. Not the God we like or the way we wish he were. But the very God of the Bible-unembellished, unvarnished-as he really is. This does not mean we will like him.

Many times, we are embarrassed by the God of the Bible, especially the God of the Old Testament-and even the teachings of Jesus when it comes to his being the only way to be saved, as well as God's right to judge and reward or condemn.

We attempt to manage God's public relations and fix his image in the modern world. We are tempted to modify and mold God into what we want him to be-what we think he should be. Instead, we should be finding out where God is and meet him there. Even if that takes us out of our comfort zones.
