Book Review - A Conversation With God by Alton Gansky

A Conversation With God invites us to "Join in an engaging conversation with God, Jesus, and key Bible characters who answer questions."

Questions such as "God, how can we believe that you created us?" and "Why is there so much suffering?" and many others.

Most likely a question or two of your own are addressed.  But, depending on where you are in your journey of faith, it may or may not be the answer your are seeking.

A Conversation With God does not offer much, if anything new.  There are no new radical theological issue brought about.  The answers to such questions are ones you most likely have heard many times before, from various sources.

What Alton's book does offer, however, is a nice introduction into theological questions for the "new" believer or a "curious" thinker.

The book is put together well, easy to read and follow and the answers are helpful, though underdeveloped.  For someone moving into "deeper" areas of their faith, this book might not be right for you.  If, however, you think you are ready to face some questions you may have regarding the Bible and God and are looking for a place to test the waters - this is the perfect book for you.

(note: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own)
