According to Linda Clare and Kristen Johnson Ingram, calling God dangerous is a more apt description of him than the way we usually want to think about him--gentle, peaceful . safe. In Making Peace with a Dangerous God , 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? Clare and Ingram 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 loving and terrifying and anything but safe. Linda Clare is an editor, the author of three nonfiction books, a frequent contributor to magazines and journals, and a former art teacher. Kristen Johnson Ingram has written fourteen books, both fiction and nonfiction, and works as a national writing coach, editorial consultant, and retreat leader. "Every once in a while something is written that breaks through the clutter of our religious talk-something filled with honest questions, filled with a kind of faithful uncertainty, filled with fear and trembling and hope and joy.

Making Peace with a Dangerous God makes me look to Heaven and grin out loud."-- Robert Benson , author of The Body Broken "At last-an intelligent, honest, lyrical threshing of the hard questions about faith, hope, belief, pain, and peace written for people with real problems."-- Gina Ochsner , Dark Horse Literary "Warning: this book is dangerous to believers who embrace easy answers and want a safe, mild-mannered God. Ingram and Clare write brilliantly and honestly about a fierce but loving God who invites us to tangle with our fears, doubts, and ultimately, with himself."-- Heather Kopp , bestselling author of Roar! A Christian Family Guide to the Chronicles of Narnia.
