Beskrivning

This overview of the theme of weakness in the Bible offers readers practical encouragement and hope as they learn to view their frailties as part of God’s plan and purpose for their lives. Our culture deifies strength—and sadly, the church does too. Who has the most successful ministry, the largest congregation, or the godliest family? Our misplaced faith in human strength is a false hope with no basis in Scripture. But a closer look throughout the Bible reveals the central role human frailty plays in the redemption story. From Genesis to Revelation, God’s power is made perfect when people are at their weakest. Far from an undesirable defect, God designed our weakness to draw us closer to himself. As you learn to accept the good gift of weakness, you will experience true strength—the kind that only comes from a loving and infinitely powerful God.

Recensioner i media

"In reading biblical theologies, I regularly have “aha!” moments as bits of Bible come together into a coherent whole. That happened for me again and again as I read The Good Gift of Weakness. This book helped me to see the good purpose God has had since the very beginning in making us creatures of weakness and dependence. In fact, weakness will not be eradicated in the New Creation! We will always need what only God provides. This book will fill you with wonder that Jesus became weak, and it will encourage you in the weak places of your life as you see that Jesus doesn’t despise weakness. Indeed, he is drawn to it."—Nancy Guthrie, author and Bible teacher
