Synopsis

Many of us long for the abundant life Jesus promised, but instead we feel stagnant and frustrated in our faith. More of us cultivate our view of God from our family of origin than from the pages of the Bible—and a faulty view of God will always be a barrier to a satisfying spiritual life.
 
In his unique and interactive book God Isn’t Like That, author Bryan Clark returns us to Scripture on a step-by-step journey to identify and then correct our misconceptions about God. This highly practical book helps us understand:
  Specific ways our childhood influences our beliefs today The difference between a grace-based value system and a performance-based value system How to distinguish truth from fiction when it comes to personal beliefs Why even a loving and faith-filled family can inadvertently pass on false representations of God What the Bible says about how God intended Himself to be depicted in the home  
Abundant life has nothing to do with money or prosperity or health. Abundant life has everything to do with a right view of God that sustains us, comforts us, and satisfies us through every season.

Goodreads review by Adam on November 25, 2023

I absolutely loved the premise of this book. Very interesting, thought-provoking, and written in a very easy-to-comprehend format. However, I did find the center chapters (4-7) to be a bit thin, cliché, and projective in their conclusions. The rest of the book (chapters 1-3 and 8-9) provide the read......more

I've had the added benefit of getting to listen to his sermon a number of times in person. Very well written, very much made me consider things from a different point of view. I'm glad I took the time to read it.......more

Goodreads review by Anne on September 05, 2024

There are some good things in here but lots of things I refer to as “old messaging” if you are healing from religious trauma. The title feels misleading to me because it sounds like we’re gonna hear “better news” but it’s still complementarian (he uses an analogy of business ownership for marriage a......more

Goodreads review by Andy on May 06, 2024

This was an incredible read; a masterclass on various themes and how our view of God rightly or wrongly shapes our views of marriage, family, parenting, etc. I went into this book wanting to discover how past hurt, conflict, and poor views of God/His character could be undone and place an emphasis o......more
