Book review — Where is God in a Messed-Up World?

Book: Where is God in a Messed-Up World?Author: Roger CarswellPublisher: 10PublishingRetail Price: £6.99 (buy now)
Review by Sheila Stephen1 minute readJanuary February 2021, page 28

Where is God in a Messed-Up World?

This is an expanded and updated issue of Roger’s earlier book. It is readable, compassionate, challenging, thought-provoking, biblical and practical. It doesn’t give glib answers to the pain of human suffering and the book offers hope. The book answers the question in the title and gives insight through Scripture, testimonies and personal example. Believer and unbeliever alike will be helped by this book. It’s worth buying a few and offering them to enquirers through the church website.
