Does It Matter If God Exists?: Understanding Who God Is and What He Does for Us

by Millard J. Erickson, Sandra McMaken

While most people today say they believe in God and treat him deferentially, observes the author, he is not a vital force in their lives. In this volume a highly acclaimed theologian explores the difference God makes in our everyday lives.
Millard Erickson identifies the problems we all face in our contemporary society, and he shows how God's character provides the solution to these problems. He addresses issues such as change, relativism, evil, and depersonalization. The result is a lively book brimming with hope and encouragement.
Ideal for adult Bible study groups, this book is complemented by thought-provoking study questions and a teacher's guide.
