Excerpt from slip cover
- Why does God allow suffering?
- How could a loving God send someone to hell?
- Why isn't Christianity more inclusive?
- How can one religion be "right" and the others "wrong".
- Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?
These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today.
Quote
"In self-centeredness we demand that others orbit around us. We will do things and give affection to others, as log as it helps us meet our personal goals and fulfills us. The inner life of the triune God, however, is utterly different. The life of the Trinity is characterized not by self-centeredness bt by mutually self-giving love. When we delight and serve someone else, we enter into dynamic orbit around him or her, we center on the interests and desires of the other."
