Making Peace with a Dangerous God: Wrestling with What We Don’t Understand.

Critically acclaimed authors Linda Clare and Kristen Johnson Ingram will release their second book togetherMaking Peace with a Dangerous God: Wrestling with What We Don’t Understand, encouraging readers to rediscover a God that is loving, caring- and even dangerous. Published by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group, the book releases April 1, 2006.

In Making Peace with a Dangerous God: Wrestling with What We Don’t Understand, the two authors explore what it means to surrender to Christ and love as completely as He has loved us.

“With their latest offering, Making Peace with a Dangerous God, Clare and Ingram approach God openly and honestly,” says Twila Bennett, marketing director for Revell, “as they tackle tough questions about who God is and how we can know Him better. Drawing from multi-generational perspectives, this book provides a forum for those searching for answers about God, as well as an opportunity for others to rediscover God’s character.”

The book is already being lauded by acclaimed authors:

"A refreshingly provocative peek into the character of God through the eyes of two brilliant women. I love how Kris and Linda tell their stories and openly discuss their personal conflicts and challenges with such courageous honesty. This book offers substance, inspiration, and relevance to all who struggle to know and understand God on a deeper level."
-Melody Carlson, award winning of author of more than 100 books for women, teens, and children.

“Every once in a while something is written that breaks through the clutter of our religious talk—something filled with honest questions, filled with a kind of faithful uncertainty, filled with fear and trembling and hope and joy. Making Peace with a Dangerous God makes me look to Heaven and grin out loud."
-Robert Benson, author of The Body Broken.

"Warning: This book is dangerous to believers who embrace easy answers and want a safe, mild-mannered God. Ingram and Clare write brilliantly and honestly about a fierce but loving God who invites us to tangle with our fears, doubts, and ultimately, with Himself."
-Heather Kopp, best-selling author of Roar! A Christian Family Guide to the Chronicles of Narnia.

"At last—an intelligent, honest, lyrical threshing of the hard questions about faith, hope, belief, pain and peace written for people with real problems. Making Peace With a Dangerous God is a dialogue, a journey, a series of faith-in-life riddles exposed and explored as two women maintain an unswerving gaze at their own lives. The result? I could not read this book without joining in."
-Gina Ochsner, Dark Horse Literary.
Known for their unique “dialogue” style and use of real-life examples, Clare and Ingram employ a new “mentoring on paper” technique as they present a provocative three-part pathway to understanding God.
