4) ‘Who Made God?’

As a renowned international molecular scientist and Bible believing Christian, Edgar Andrews lays down a strong foundation (otherwise known as a hypothesis) for an almighty loving God; a God who has revealed His creative presence in the diversity and wonder of nature and supremely through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. He attacks and soundly defeats the arguments of new atheists like Richard Dawkins and exposes them to be full of errors using clear and comprehensive explanations on the origin of the universe, the complexity of DNA structures and the degenerative nature of mutations.

No holds are barred as Professor Andrews demolishes the ill conceived claims of Darwinian natural selection using well founded scientific skills and delightful ironic humour. Although the underlying tone of the book is one of serious logical argument it is written in layman’s terms and entertaining language with intriguing chapter headings such as ‘Sooty and the universe’, ‘Life in a cake mixer’ and ‘The second shoe’ etc.

Just a cautionary note for those who are not so academically minded; some of the passages can be rather technical but the author explains everything in simple terms for all to understand.

This is a brilliant scientific and theological apology of the highest order for the existence of a Creator God who loves us in Jesus Christ. If you are following the evolution – creation debate then this is a highly recommended read.

5) ‘Finding God in The Shack’

Randal Rauser has offered a carefully considered theologian’s response to ‘The Shack’ written by William P. Young. It is a balanced and objective view of the implied theology seen throughout the gripping story of Mack and his encounter with God. Randal has addressed the many challenging and critical questions arising out of ‘The Shack’ fairly, using clear arguments in layman’s terms. Questions like: ‘Isn’t it heresy to portray God the Father as an African-American woman?’ and ‘Do we really want to know the doctrine of the Trinity?’ and ‘Why does God allow suffering in the world?’

If you have read ‘The Shack’ and have your own questions then this book will help you at least to begin to resolve them. As Randal says in his introduction ‘The Shack’ is both a story and theology. Many Christians think theology is too academic and even boring. Yet when they read this fascinating tale and start asking questions about God, they become theologians themselves. This is an excellent commentary which hopefully will stimulate the knowledge of God within the church.

Recommended.

5) ‘The Shack’

A fascinating fictional story about Mack, an American family man whose young daughter Missy gets abducted in the forest wilderness of Oregon. Only her blood stained dress is found in a remote shack and Mack is constantly haunted by a ‘Great Sadness’ over the loss of his beloved Missy. After four years he finds himself drawn back to the shack through a strange invitation note signed by ‘Papa’, his wife’s name for God. There follows an amazing weekend in the shack, where Mack is not only confronted with the Holy Trinity but has to face up to all the deep seated fears of his own abused childhood and penetrating questions about his daughter’s terrible ordeal. Using a powerful storyline narrative, this remarkable read deals with the deep issues of God’s nature and hy he allows evil and pain. Gripping, yawn free theology. If you have any interest in God you won’t put it down
