This is a book that challenges readers to rediscover a God who is loving, caring and even dangerous. The many and varied attributes of God can be puzzling. To understand and make peace with who He is requires faith and courage. Authors Linda Clare and Kristen Johnson Ingram implore readers to become closer to this dangerous God by exploring what it means to surrender to Christ and love as completely as He has loved us.

Known for their unique "dialogue" style and use of real-life examples, Clare and Ingram employ a new "mentoring on paper" technique as they present a provocative three-part pathway to understanding God. Readers are challenged to relinquish control, courageously cling to God through times of fear and doubt, and encounter the God of the cosmos face-to-face. Making Peace with a Dangerous God promises to become a classic for understanding how to approach and interact with our Creator.

According to Linda and Kristen, calling God dangerous is a more apt description than the way we usually want to think about Him - gentle, peaceful..... safe.

In this book, these two women, a generation apart, tackle the scary process of falling into the hands of the living God. They're not afraid to confront tough questions like, can we be confident in a God who handed over our destiny to a baby? Can we trust a God who loves freedom enough to let us choose our own demise?

Linda and Kristen are willing to be open and vulnerable and challenge you to do the same. Through their easy to follow yet soul challenging writing, you will encounter the true God of Scripture, a God who is living and terrifying and anything but safe.
