The Story Behind the Book
Why I Wrote This Book
In a world plagued by pain surely ending in death, God Unshackled offers a fresh and accessible case for the rationality and beauty of the Christian faith. Drawing on early church history, scripture, and the riches of Christian thought, I take on the tough questions, like how can a loving God permit evil and suffering? Chapter by chapter, intellectually rich and emotionally satisfying answers are integrated with artwork that brings to life the luminous promise of John 1:5 — “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
I promise you, this book is different. Born of my own journey across decades of searching, God Unshackled combines cold, hard, logical rationality with the warmth of heartfelt devotion. I wrote it for skeptics, seekers, and believers alike — for all who hunger for a faith that is both true and beautiful. There is no Bible thumping, no condescension; I make no demands. God Unshackled presents a forged-in-the-furnace-of-reality perspective as it invites you on a journey to a wonder-filled place of time without end.
