A Conversation with God


Gansky has written an interesting book of Biblical questions are answered from the perspective of Jesus, God, and other Biblical characters. Questions are divided into categories, centering on God, the Bible, the Future, Pain and Suffering, Jesus, the Kingdom of God, Heaven and Hell, Humanity, Christian Living, and Today's World (focusing on modern thinking, such as politics, abortion, homosexuals, etc).
This is a book that needs to be read with a grain of salt. As questions are answered, the Biblical passages are only footnoted, not directly referenced. I believe Biblical questions should be answered with direct scripture, and that any assumption or interpolations should not be discussed. Non-Biblical statements can be confusing and misleading. I think this book is a great reference to answer some Biblical questions, but you must hold this book in one hand and a Bible in the other. I do recommend this to others wanting to learn more about controversial or challenging points.

Thanks Thomas Nelson!
