Book Review“Googling God” by Rev. John Cox
Googling God examines not so much what we believe but rather why we believe it. Through the telling of personal stories and observations John explores why we believe the things we do about God, Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. He sets Christianity apart from other faiths and worldviews and argues Christianity has a compelling perspective through which we can understand the world. It is not an apologetic in the classical sense but it does give a defence for the faith in a way that speaks clearly to this generation of both seekers and believers. In essence the focus is on discovering a personal relationship with Jesus and being unafraid to ask hard questions along the way.
John also offers a valuable critique of the church and why we are often ineffective at reaching the current generation by making our story compelling and provocative.
This is a very helpful book for anyone who wants to get a better grip on understanding why we believe what we believe about God and why it is significant. More information is available at http://www.googleforgod.com/
