What about the time he let Satan take Job's children and all of his earthly possessions, but yet the apostle John calls God “Love”? Most people would agree that the God that is described in the New Testament is more palpable than a God who permissively brings judgment on others, the God often described in the Old Testament. In this quick read, Dr. Michael Brown takes a detailed look at the infamous story of Job to let God himself answer the question, “How can a God who allows sickness and disease and describes Himself as 'the one who causes disaster' be the same God who loves us?”

With the power of the Holy Spirit, we can change the world instead of letting it change us. This book equips you to be effectively used by the Holy Spirit to bring reformation in society following spiritual revival. It explores how a spiritual outpouring in the church can lead to a cultural awakening. Michael L. Brown, PhD, outlines key steps believers must take in this new season—from prayer rooms to homes, schools, universities, and the realms of finance and politics—to achieve lasting cultural change. Drawing from historical revivals and scriptural insights, Brown encourages readers to move beyond church walls and engage in a transformative journey that impacts all aspects of society. He addresses how to deepen our prayer base, infiltrate the educational system, ground ourselves in apologetics, raise godly leaders in politics, and engage in cultural battles through the Spirit's power. He emphasizes walking in God’s love and truth without becoming moral enforcers. This is an urgent call for believers to rise above complacency and embrace their role as catalysts for societal transformation, serving as an essential guide for those desiring to see their homes, cities, and nations transformed by God's power.
