God is For You (Paperback)

Mac Brunson has provided us with a thoughtful resource to help guide Christians through the challenging times of life. Drawing from his own personal experiences as well as carefully selected experiences and illustrations from the lives of others, Brunson offers wise biblical guidance to point his readers toward faithful worship, trust, and obedience. Each chapter includes reflective questions and prayers to encourage practical application. I am happy to recommend God is for You: Learning to Trust God's Wisdom Through Life's Crises.

This is the book all of us need not just in crisis but in preparation for the inevitable, unexpected trials life dishes up. When my own life unexpectedly imploded leaving me a sudden widow and single mom to seven, Mac Brunson’s sound teaching was a weekly lifeline as I navigated the overwhelm of crushing pain and countless decisions. In God is for You, Mac brings his signature storytelling, pastor’s heart, and Biblical theology through the life of Moses to give us principles of godly wisdom. If you’ve viewed godly wisdom as too obscure to attain, this book delivers practical truth from scripture every one of us can apply.

As believers, we are told to “acquire wisdom above all”. Thankfully for us, Mac Brunson’s God is For You gives us rich insights on how to grow in wisdom, using Bible characters as examples. Drawing lessons from their experiences, he presents clear illustrations of what godly wisdom truly is. Each chapter ends with thoughtful questions, helping the reader work through these Biblical truths. If you are seeking wisdom, this exceptional book is for you!

In his must-have, eclectic, refreshing and renewing work, God is For You, Dr. Mac Brunson combines relatable contemporary illustrations, biblical insights and personal experiences to provide relevant encouragement for timeless generations. This is not a work produced by an unaware armchair theologian or one unacquainted with the vicissitudes of life. Readers are challenged by trustworthy lessons from a voice strengthened by faith and soothed by the promises of our faithful God—even in dark times. Let the reader with ears to hear read and hear the voice of God in these pages.

This book uplifted my spirit. With the deft use of biblical insights and illustrations, Mac Brunson reminds us that God gives wisdom to those who truly seek it. Read this book and then pass it along to others to encourage them to believe that God is faithful to His people in the day of trouble.

Knowledge abounds. Wisdom is in short supply. Here is an excellent book on wisdom by Mac Brunson, one of the wisest pastors I know. Though we need wisdom every day in life, life’s crises have a way of going deeper than our wisdom well can handle. At such times, we need to let our bucket down deep in God’s wisdom. This solidly biblical and wonderfully practical book is succinct, clear, and readable. Once I started reading it, I could hardly put it down. Don’t miss this gem—it’s worth its weight in gold.

Dr. Brunson is clearly a pillar of knowledge. But with God is For You, he shares a walked-in, fought for wisdom that only true experience and hardship can teach. As a ministry leader carrying countless griefs, I found it easy to read for my weary soul and left me deeply encouraged, equipped and motivated to seek comfort that only God's wisdom can provide. I really did come away with the sweet reminder that God is, in fact, for me.
