God is for Us

By C. Baxter Kruger

Book Overview

"That God should be 'for us' will be a remarkable and transforming discovery for those who have grown weary under the whiplash of a theology that drives us to 'do something for God ' I wish that overburdened pastors could read this book before ever preaching another sermon and uninspired Christians could inhale its fragrance before going to church "
- Ray S. Anderson
Professor of Theology and Ministry, Fuller Theological Seminary

"When I picked up God is for Us I read it through in one sitting, in an hour. I could not tear myself away from the sheer goodness of the triune God that Baxter Kruger conveys in this short book. But then I had to go back and read it carefully through again, in order to allow the deep truths to penetrate my life afresh. Here is a clearly presented exposition of the profound truth that we are created to be with God forever " - Graham Buxton
Senior Lecturer and Head of Ministry, Tabor College, South Australia
"God is for Us is a must read for those working with damaged people. As flowers open up to the sun, so wounded souls open to the light of God's goodness. Many mentally unwell patients have been transformed by the reality of God's goodness to us in Jesus Christ as laid out in this little book."
-Dr. Bruce Wauchope
Medical Practioner, Bedford Clinic, Adelaide, Australia

I wept when I read this book!

There have been few books that have moved me as greatly as this book has. When I picked up "God is For Us", I could not put it down and read it late into the night. My life changed as, through me tears, I realized that the Father so loved me that he sent His Son to stand in my place for me on my behalf. Not just on the cross, that he did, but also today and every day! We have been given a share in the Son's knowing the Father and His perfect relationship. He is the Vicarious Man that did for me what I could never do, measure up.But here's the kicker, I finally realized that the Father is the one who sent the Son for me! He did so not so He could accept me, but so I could accept Him! This book ripped away the dark mask of the angry "Father" standing behind Jesus (that I grew up with) and revealed to me the Father's loving, smiling face that has eternally loved and delighted in me!Thank you Baxter Kruger!
