What good is God to me? What is the benefit of faith in my life?
These questions are very important, but they are rarely asked aloud and rarely answered. Unjustly so, according to Henk van de Weg. In this book he discusses the benefits of believing in God in five areas:
- Someone is with us (our relationship with God)
- Identity (who am I)
- Help in life (we are not alone)
- Purpose and guidelines for our lives
- Hope for the future
In practice, however, many people do not experience any of this. Henk van de Weg acknowledges this. For each area, he honestly addresses the questions and difficulties that exist.
This book does not provide easy answers, but it does outline the great value that God can have in our lives.
