Publisher's Summary

If it's good, it must be God. Right? These days the terms good and God seem synonymous. We believe that what's generally accepted as good must be in line with God's will. Generosity, humility, justice - good. Selfishness, arrogance, cruelty - evil. The distinction seems pretty straightforward.

But is that all there is to it? If good is so obvious, why does the Bible say that we need discernment to recognize it? Good or God? isn't another self-help message. This audiobook will do more than ask you to change your behavior. It will empower you to engage with God on a level that will change every aspect of your life.

Such an important message

Saved by grace, and called to be a holy people, set apart. This book provides such great insight into what it means to live a Christian life, and how what we see as good may not always be God's will. Eve was not attracted to the tree of knowledge of good and evil because it was blatantly occult or obviously bad... She saw that it was good, pleasant and desirable. And she was deceived. She disobeyed God, by doing what she thought to be good.
I liked this book because it tells how one is able to live a holy life. For me, personally, I was intimidated by the thought of having to try and live a holy life because I was depending on my own efforts and my own flesh to perform. But I see now that so long as I depend on myself I will surely fail. And the only solution is to depend on Jesus, behold him, and be transformed by His Spirit into His likeness--holy, empowered by His amazing grace.

Excellent!

This book is every bit as good as The Bait of Satan or better. It is absolutely a must read. Thank you John Bevere and Audible. I wish all of John's books were on Audible.

WOW! Lord I repent.

Would you listen to Good or God? again? Why?

I definitely will be listening to this book again. It really caused me to examine if Jesus was just my savior or was he the Lord of my life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jesus of course is my favorite character. John does a great job of using the scriptures to make Jesus relevant to my everyday life.

What does John Bevere bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

John is so passionate about living for Christ and seeing others live for Christ. His passion reverberates through his reading of this book.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This was not a book that I wanted to listen to in one setting. This was a book that I listened to for a couple of chapters and then needed some time to absorb the material.

Any additional comments?

Probably the most personally impactful christian book I have listened to.

Transformative

This was a wonderful book!I have really enjoyed listening to it and will share as well. I now intend on getting a hard copy to mark,highlight,and refrence as well. It spoke to my Spirit to continue to pursue the pursuer with all of my heart,mind,body,and soul. The number one Goal of any believer is to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. To lift up clean hands and a pure heart. So make yourself a ready Bride Of Christ. I am extremely happy but to reminded that the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent in come boldly to the throne of Grace where God gives us the ability through the work of Jesus Christ by the governing power of the HOLY Spirit to mature into Son Ship. To dwell in the presence of the King and behold his Glory!!! Praise God. We must decrease so that He must increase in the World. God Bless

Very good, balanced

The bible can be so confusing. Different churches preaching from both extremes. Balance of gods love and fearing him is key.

Maybe the most important message to the western church right now and especially in Norway

Such an important message providing with a language and the scriptures for what I’ve been sensing has been wrong among so called Christians in Norway!

Prepare to be challenged!

John Bevere shares a challenging message with clarity and honesty, not shying away from giving personal examples of how the message has convicted him to follow God rather than what can seem to be good.

Incredible. So well written and narrated.

If you're a black and white, good or bad, no inbetween, kind of person, this is the book for you. If you're unsure of where the boundaries are as a Christian, this book so clearly defines them. A must read for all Christians.
