Is the God of the Old Testament Angry, Sexist and Racist?

Growing Through the Uncertainties of Faith
by Alister McGrath
Foreword by Ravi ZachariasWe live in a culture that doubts everything as a matter of principle. In such an environment, how can even faith be immune to doubt? Can I really trust in the gospel? Does God really love me? Can I really be of any use to God? We are taught to doubt but commanded to believe. Somehow we think that admitting to doubt is tantamount to insulting God. But doubt is not a sign of spiritual weakness--rather ...

Transformation of a Man's Heart Series
by Stephen W. Smith, Gordon Dalbey, and Howard L. Baker
Life is not a flow chart. We weren't meant to master it on our own. We weren't meant to be mastered by it either. The discussion guides in the Transformation of a Man's Heart series put us in conversation with God and with one another to see how God shapes and transforms us in the ordinary experiences of our lives. Am I every going to change? he asks. If we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit ...
