I’ve Got A Question

The cover of this book states, “if you could ask God any question, what would it be?”  I thought that was a very intriguing question.   There are 55 different questions in the book, questions the writer thinks women would be interested in.  The questions are supposedly answered by God–mostly from a Biblical point-of-view, but filtered through the thoughts and opinions of the author.  The questions are answered by “God” along with others such as Jesus and other people of the Bible.  The book tries to make the dialog take place in a conversational way.

 This book could be a good jumping off point for thought.  Hopefully it will cause the reader to look deeper at some of the answers given for certain questions.  My wish would be that the book would spur people to look into the Bible, see how the Bible lined up with the answers in this book, and how well they thought the questions were answered.  The reader will need to decide whether or not they agree the answers the author gives for God should stand–or if the author had it wrong, and used too much of her own interpretation of what she thought God would say. 

 The question this book brings to mind is:  should someone answer for God?  It is important that the reader remember these answers are really from the author’s point of view of the Bible and God.  Although the idea of God answering specific questions is an interesting idea for a book, my worry is that readers might take these answers as “the gospel truth.”  Which it is not necessarily so, it is the author’s viewpoint.  So take the answers here with a grain of salt, and check everything out with the Bible itself.
