Awesome Sovereign's Battle For Paradise

Few great ideas matter more than the idea of God because it invokes passion and action that sometimes results in opposites: giving or taking, generosity or destruction. Christianity is no exception. Non-believers use the fear of destruction to insist that society must ultimately be freed from the grips of all religious beliefs due to their influence on public policy that infringes on the rights of unbelievers. Christian churches have reacted differently to this challenge, but a widespread crisis of trust in institutional Christianity has seen church attendance drop the fastest in the last century.
Awesome Sovereign's Battle for Paradise is an ambitious effort to retell the story of God and humanity from before the Earth existed as we know it. Glenn Rutland skillfully follows the epic ancient stories in the Torah and The Writings (Old Testament) to shape the history, the enigmatic characters, believers and unbelievers, through the New Testament, and the ideas that impact public policy today.
Kirkus Book Review acknowledges Rutland's ability to make the Bible comprehensible. Battle For Paradise challenges students twelve years old and above to think critically about God, unbelief, and belief so a fully-informed personal decision is possible. It will help you understand and think deeply about the Christian worldview from a genuine believer's perspective. Rutland combines historical narrative, story-telling, and commentary to show why God's relationship with us matters today. This book improves Biblical literacy, asks and answers tough questions, and helps develop faith in God in a troubled world.
