Good or God?: Why Good Without God Isn't Enough

by John Bevere

Overview

These days the terms good and God seem synonymous. We believe what’s generally accepted as good must be in line with God’s will. Generosity, humility, justice—good. Selfishness, arrogance, cruelty—evil. The distinction seems pretty straightforward. But is that all there is to it? If good is so obvious, why does the Bible say that we need discernment to recognize it? Good or God? isn’t another self-help message. This book will do more than ask you to change your behavior. It will empower you to engage with God on a level that will change every aspect of your life.

Editorial Reviews

“When I read the stories of people who did unprecedented things out of love for God, I find myself longing to be among them. Good or God? speaks to what happens in the minds and hearts of those who truly embrace God’s best—rather than settling for easier counterfeits. If you share this desire to know and serve God in a radical way, I urge you to read this book.”

John Bevere, minister and bestselling author, narrates his own life-changing study with skill as he explores why being good without believing in God isn’t enough, although many think that "good" and "God" are synonymous terms. In a skilled narration he clarifies why he believes that the real evil to be faced is what he describes as the "evil of good" because some things that appear good lead to self-deception that draws us away from God. An example of such is Satan's act of deception against Eve in the Garden of Eden after God had warned her not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge. Designed for six-week individual or group sessions, the production includes questions and answers, devotions, and thoughts for reflection and application, complete with a separate PDF file.
