While the God of the Christian tradition is often said to be good, that same God doesn't seem to shy away from endorsing genocide, homophobia, racism, sexism, or eternal damnation, leading many persons of faith to justify violence and oppressive behaviors for thousands of years. But in this book, Ruud works listeners into the supposition that God desires none of those things. And, on the contrary, with a theology that pushes the boundaries of God much larger than we might ever imagine, he argues that the only god who can truly be good is a God of other-centered, self-sacrificial love.

You could say he was just being efficient—setting himself up on a distinct path that would carry him from childhood through to his accomplished career as a businessman and educator. This is Jeffrey’s story, from start...to be continued.
