Too Good to Be True

In a world of hype we may buy into the idea that through Jesus well be healthier and wealthier as well as wiser. So what happens when we become ill or depressed or bankrupt? Did we do something wrong? Has God abandoned us? As a child Michael Horton would run up the down escalator trying to beat it to the top. As Christians he notes we sometimes seek God the same way believing we can climb to him under our own steam. But we cant which is why we are blessed that Jesus descends to us especially during times of trial. In Too Good to Be True Horton exposes the pop culture that sells Jesus like a product for health and happiness and reminds us that our lives often lead us on difficult routes we must follow by faith. This book offers a series of powerful readings that demonstrate how through every type of earthly difficulty our Father keeps his promises from Scripture and works all things together for our good.
