A Conversation with God by Alton Gansky

Jesus said that we would have trouble in this world. As Christians, we know this is true. Although we do not want to question God, we do.

I love this book and I’m keeping this one handy. It is a book about the many questions that we might ask God and the responses He might tell us in return. What’s different about this book is that not only do we hear from the character of God, we hear from other important biblical characters. Gansky is clever in using the different character voices such as Job, Abraham, Jeremiah, John the Baptist, and Peter just to name a few.

The main areas of the book include questions about God, Jesus, the Bible, Pain/Suffering, The Future, and Heaven and Hell as well as others.

I’m surprised at the negative reviews. I think this is a much needed book. I guess if you are a biblical scholar, then move on to something else. But, I think this book will bring people closer to God. Some books are so complicated that a new Christian may simply think it’s too hard. It’s not hard. It’s easier for us to discount God than vice versa. God created us in His image. He cannot help but love us. It’s the same with our children. How can you not love your child?

At the end of the book, Gansky includes notes that give biblical backup to his answers.

I think this book has the power to really understand God. For that, I’m keeping it close to my fingertips. Gansky prayed through each of these questions and answers. I pray for those who read it and may they be changed because of it.
