The
Character of God Controversy:
A close look at the intense love and justice of
God Almighty By
Steve Wohlberg & Chris Lewis
What
people are saying:
Wohlberg
& Lewis have clearly, biblically, honestly, yet kindly, dealt
head-on with the apparent dichotomy between God's justice and His
mercy. Their total immersion into the agonizing sacrifice of Jesus
Christ for our sins makes the book full of love, grace, and power.
After reading it, you will agree with those standing on the sea of
glass: "Just and true are Your ways, King of Saints!" (Rev.
19:3)
--Bill
Krick, Director ofCalifornia Youth Rush
In
the course of the great controversy Satan has pitted God’s
justice against His love. In heaven he told the angels that God
was too just to forgive. Now many are teaching that God is too loving
to destroy. The Character of God Controversy reveals –
in the light of the cross – that God’s justice did not
spare His own Son but His love gave Him up for us all (Romans 8:32).
A must read for those who are seeking a better understanding of
God’s character in these last days.

The Character of God
Controversy
is a timely and much needed work that reveals the true nature and
balance of God’s justice of mercy. Many sincere people have
fallen into one of two ditches on either side of the track of truth;
either presenting God as a cruel vindictive ruler, or as a God so
loving that He never administers justice. This book will put and
keep its readers squarely on the track of truth.
-- Pastor Ivor Myers,Power of the Lamb Ministries
The
pendulum of popular opinion on the character of God has swung away
from the “fire and brimstone” extreme to the present
vision of a benign being that is too kind to risk causing us pain
by punishing sin. This book corrects the current fallacies without
going back to the other extreme.
-- Robert Ford, M.D.
In
their exploration of God’s love, mercy, and justice, Steve Wohlberg
and Chris Lewis provide solid biblical evidence that God’s wrath
is more than a passive abandonment of sinners to their fate—though
that is included. God’s active wrath in dealing with sin and
sinners is not a contradiction of divine love. The biblical evidence
reveals that God’s wrath is a manifestation of His love. This
book makes a significant contribution to the current debate over God’s
character.
--Marvin
Moore, Editor,
Signs of the Times
This
huge question about the character of God is very real, because most
of us Christians (regardless of denomination) have a doctored image
of Jesus. We practice “Jesus-ol-atry,” creating our personal
“image” of God/Jesus and bowing down to it. Most wince
when we hear that God might be a Supreme Deity of justice and Divine
retribution. Unacceptable, we declare! Often, rather than quietly
coming to grips with that aspect of Divinity and what it might mean
for us today on a personal basis, we make excuses. I suspect that
after a careful examination of this book, it will leave most (if not
all) of us feeling at least a tad uncomfortable. And yet – thank
the Lord! – it also offers a heavenly solution for our guilt
and sin.

The
Character of God Controversy is a book that is long overdue. In a
time when people run to extremes, this book expounds a balanced portrayal
of God’s character. Many do not understand that all truth, as
found in His word, is held in a divine-tension of seeming contradictions.
This is seen in such attributes as justice and mercy; law and grace;
love and hate. Trying to reconcile these seemly contradictory terms
has caused confusion for some who seek to know God. This book is written
in such a way that it will inspire those who seek deeper exegetical
study, yet at the same time is “user friendly” for the
layman.
