The Presence of a Hidden God

This book demonstrates the rational coherence of the Christian faith. Atheism, which is supposedly based on reason, is shown to be inherently irrational. Only Christianity meets both the intellectual and intuitive longings of the human soul. Yes, the hidden God is present among us. -Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer, senior pastor of the Moody Church, Chicago, IL, and author of Christ Among Other Gods and Slandering Jesus There are only two ways that we can know something: rational thought or revelation. When it comes to knowing God, history shows the first option is untrustworthy, as countless rational thinkers have asserted views of various gods that are either contradictory or irreconcilable. That leaves us with revelation, where God Himself chooses to reveal things hidden to our finite minds. This is the persuasive case made by D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe in their excellent work The Presence of a Hidden God. With compelling narrative and excellent scholarship, they detail a revelation of God that is both awe inspiring and trustworthy. If you desire to make God known to those for whom He remains hidden, this is the book for you. -Frank Wright, Ph.D., president and CEO of National Religious Broadcasters The Presence of a Hidden God is a must-read and must-give-to-everyone book. It is the best book published in many years that presents the truth of God and Jesus Christ to unbelievers. The book takes off with insight and memorable stories that capture both mind and heart. I will quote The Presence of a Hidden God for years to come. I was moved to tears several times. I laughed out loud. This is the great evangelist Dr. D. James Kennedy's magnum opus due to the superb coauthoring of Jerry Newcombe. My suggestion is read it and be transformed! -Ted Baehr, chairman of Christian Film & Television Commission and publisher of MovieGuide This, the final Kennedy-Newcombe book after twelve others, is probably their finest. It serves as a fitting capstone for Dr. Kennedy's extraordinary ministry, taking on the greatest theme that ever could be-God Himself-and with brilliant logic and shimmering illustrations proves not only His existence but how very threadbare are the arguments of today's resurgent atheists. But more, these pages also answer questions even the faithful may ask: Why does God seem hidden at times? Why does He permit evil? This book, defying the detractors and firming up the faithful, should be required reading to meet the challenges facing today's Christian. -Paul L. Maier, professor of history, Western Michigan University, and best-selling author
