Jim Pace has been one of my co-pastors for three years; he’s been a mentor and friend much longer. In April 2010, FaithWords will publish Jim Pace’s first book, Should We Fire God?
Given the terrible suffering in our world, and in light of recent atheistic works such as Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion and Christopher Hitchens’s God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, is there any reason to hope in the God of Scripture? What’s he really worth in a world that seems to be, regarding Christianity, “over it?” And if there is a God, has he so bungled his role as the great Sovereign that we should simply let him go? Should We Fire God?
I’ve read portions of this book and have given it my endorsement. As one who has, in the past, wrestled with these questions quite a bit, I can tell you that Jim Pace has written a thoroughly well-conceived and well-reasoned work.
I’ll be blogging more about this important book as we move closer to April. And once Should We Fire God? is available for pre-order, I’ll let you know.
In the meantime, be saving your pennies for April 2010.
