By: Joshua Ryan Butler

Narrated by: Joshua Ryan Butler

The influential pastor and author of The Skeletons in God’s Closet invites those trapped in doubt, shame, or disappointment to discover afresh the life-transforming truth that God is always looking out for you.

Do you ever question whether God is on your side? It’s easy to believe he is when life is going well. It’s harder to believe when you’re reeling from rejection or betrayal, wrestling with depression or a terminal diagnosis, grappling with loneliness, or grieving broken dreams.

Jesus reveals a God who is more on your side than you ever dared to dream. In this study on the gospel of John, you’ll discover the Creator who enters your side of creation, the Savior who fights for you on the cross, and the Redeemer who works through you with meaning and purpose. You’ll discover

• how God is closer than you think—guiding, guarding, and loving you
• how the Old Testament brings John’s gospel to life in fresh ways
• simple, practical ways to experience God’s love every day

You don’t have to win God’s love. God has come to win yours. Even in your darkest moments, he pursues you to shape you and hold you close. Come encounter the hope-filled radiant love of the God who is always on your side.

Only started it but I’m loving it!

I’ve read the book of John many times. The beautiful tapestry woven together by the apostle is truly captured and appreciated in this work by Joshua. What’s more, the author does an excellent job of where we fit into that same story as the bride of Christ, as a living stone in his temple. So encouraging! Definitely worth the read (or listen ha).

Recommend

The author was able to paint the picture with hat even when the messiness of life weighs one down, God remains faithful and present. God is always and forever true to Himself, His Word.

One of the story that stood out to me was when an individual friends begged and pleaded for a presidential pardon which was granted. However, the man refused the pardon, therefore accepting the penalty of the judgment. One might ask, why would one refused a pardon?

Ask another way, why do people rejects God’s pardon for salvation through Christ?

This book is sound and I recommend reading it.

Encouraging!

Josh Butler takes the reader on a journey with Jesus stories in the Gospel of John. His connections between the context, text and real life are spot-on. Thank you for a great book!

An amazing book.

Amazing! Joshua Butler is an incredible storyteller and theologian taking the reader through the New and Old Testament showing how the law and grace work together to show believers that God is not only on your side, but longs for you to be on his side too.
