Divine Frustrations: Exploring the Most Challenging Complaints about God
Ebook
The Bible encourages believers to love God with all their hearts. Interestingly enough, there is no command to "like" God. Is the admonition to "like" God conspicuously absent due to its inherent difficulty?
If we are honest, we can safely affirm that there are unlikable realities about our world that critics allege reflect poorly on the perceived nature of God. However, there is a lack of awareness regarding alternative ways to understand such realities. Divine Frustrations is an attempt to bridge that gap by providing a balanced, engaging approach to revisiting the unpleasant aspects of God's dealings with humanity.
Drawing on decades of interactions with students, atheists, critics, inmates, and church members, as well as people from all walks of life, Moore offers reflections on both sides of the most common complaints leveled against God. Whether you are a believer or a skeptic, your approach to various topics will be challenged. If you are open to considering alternatives to what you believe, as well as new insights into your own views, read on.
“Perhaps one thing that unites us all is complaining. After reading Divine Frustrations, you may still grumble about someone’s faith in God or gripe about another’s unbelief, but your frustrations can become more balanced, fair, and compassionate.”
—Peter Admirand, co-author of Seeking Common Ground: A Theist/Atheist Dialogue
