Opis

WHERE IS GOD? This question hallows the hearts and minds of people when disasters of any sort invade our lives, just as when the locusts invaded the lives of the Israelites in the book of Joel. Whenever bad things happen, our first course of thought is to look around and ask for deeper answers as to why it happened. While some look at natural disasters as a form of divine wrath and others try to find other explanations, has it occurred to any of us that God might be speaking to us through the different things we experience? In this unique book that transforms the experience of Joel's prophecy into something understandable and relatable, Dr. Lee Ann B. Marino takes the reader on the experiences of the Prophet Joel's world, with its ups and downs, difficulties and discouragements, all the way through both problem and restoration, that we might see ourselves in this experience to change our own lives and perspectives. Looking at the prophecy of Joel in this way gives us purpose and hope, no matter how difficult our circumstances may become, because whenever we stand "between the porch and the altar" seeking answers, God provides us with the proper instruction and support to get us through to the other side.
