Publisher Description
If we really believed that God knowing was enough—and left it there—our questions, worries, and angst over life's struggles would find more than temporary relief.
Many of us wake up every day with looming anxieties over our future and a weariness we can't shake. We have more questions than answers and live with difficult daily realities and secrets we feel we cannot share. The question remains for most believers: How can I fix it, make sense of it, or solve it?
Enter God Knows: a guidebook to lead the modern believer to a place of release, relief, and reliance upon the omniscience of God. Inspired by the seldom-studied book of Nahum, God Knows details the behind-the-scenes picture we are missing, what His great knowing entails, and how his omniscience provides daily perspective to bring the healing and peace we are all desperate to find.
In God Knows, you will:
experience freedom by learning the difference between privacy and secrecy,develop renewed belief in your abandoned dreams and goals, still known by God,realign your idea of God's omniscience being far away to how it daily affects you,release your fears for the future as you develop a different outlook on tomorrow through God's lens, andlearn how to deal with injustice in light of God's knowledge of it.
God is doing his job well: the justice, the plan, the working together for our good even when we can't see or understand. The problem is not God. Learn to release what has been burdening you and watch His plan for your life unfold.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bible teacher and Jesus Over Everything podcast host Whittle (The Hard Good) invites readers to trust God's omniscience in this passionate guide, contending that peace can only be achieved by experiencing—not just believing in—God's power and love. In eight parts, the author shows how to put that faith into practice. One chapter instructs readers to "center God" in their pursuits ("I've found that most often when my dreams don't work out," she writes, "It's because they don't actually center on God. They focus on me") and lists questions that help clarify this distinction ("Do you sense this came from him? Have you prayed through it and believe He is still in it?"). Elsewhere, Whittle advises readers to draw strength from the knowledge that their struggles are part of God's plan, and suggests strategies for avoiding shame and seeking help ("because God knows my secret," she writes, "I don't have to live in fear of it being revealed"). While Whittle hammers home her message of trust in God's power, the advice that comes along with it—how to set healthy boundaries, or to avoid internalizing rejection—tends to be useful. Believers will appreciate Whittle's wisdom.
