Servant God: The Cosmic Conflict Over God’s Trustworthiness

Nineteen authors wrote various chapters of this volume which is a classic on the subject of God’s character and His absolute trustworthiness. Here is one review of the book:

“The reverberating chorus through the book chimes something like this: ‘If what you believe [about God] does not sound, look, feel, act, or inspire like Jesus, then it probably needs rethinking and changing!'” (Stevan Mirkovich, Pastor, Vancouver, BC)

You can listen to an audio (professionally-read) of any chapter of Servant God (see list below). You would get the most out of it by listening in order but the chapters do stand on their own, so go ahead and sample a chapter of interest to get a taste for the material.

The book is edited by Drs. Brad and Dorothee Cole of Redlands, California.

The chapters average about 30 minutes each with some variation in length.
