“God gets his family back.” is already going to end up being my favorite tag line of the Bible. I will be quoting you on that for the rest of my life.

“God gets His family back” is definitely God’s heart, and He has done on His end to make it come true; but since there’s free-will, He can’t make us come back. Jus’ sayin’

-Love your blog and your books!

Thank you for this article-very helpful. I’ve read a number of your books and have just finished reading ‘Prayer-does it make any difference?’ and logged on to your site to see if there was a place to leave my thanks. I am on sabbatical at the moment (I’m a church minister in the UK), and I think the book is really good and very well-balanced, and I’m so glad to have read it at this point. God bless you and keep you.

So refreshing to find posts by women. I’m a woman in ministry, and frieghted by doubt. I like the idea of honoring the search instead of blind certitude, which unnerves me. Your writing is intelligent and thoughtful, encouraging to me as a writer myself. I’ve written a memoir of my ministry in Arizona which chronicles my doubts but also highlights the delights of serving a small church: ‘Mrs. Ogg Played the Harp: Memories of Church and Love in the High Desert.’ Writing of my doubts in the context of the church doesn’t seem to frighten off readers, who can be embarrassed by doubt.

I love this theme of “God Gets His Family Back”! I could write a book about how He is redeeming my family back to Himself. He is such a faithful Father! Also, Philip, thank you SO much for making your book, “Where is God When it Hurts?” available as a free ebook. I just downloaded it and am looking forward to reading the revised version. I read the previous version many years ago, and as a missionary I used the book and its principles countless times as an aid in ministry. I plan to advise as many people as possible about the availabilty of the ebook – expecially now, in the aftermath of Newtown when so many are saying, “Where was God?” Thank you from the bottom of my heart…your books have played a huge role in my spiritual growth. Blessings to you!

I apologize for this not being a response to your above post, but I have a question: When will your book ‘The Jesus I Never Knew” be made available as an epub outside the U.S.A.?
