ON LINE REVIEWS™ BY MIKE RAMEY

 

“Until then, the people of God also share in the judgment of death.  And before God wraps up history, more judgments will still fall on this planet.  We have not seen the end.”

--Erwin W. Lutzer, Author

“Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters.”

 

     What has been needed for quite a while during the months of the worldwide Wuhan Virus pandemic is a work that encourages the Saint and warns the Sinner that God is still in complete control of the natural and the supernatural.  There has been much of the way of televised offerings on the significance of the pandemic.  Written works are finally starting to make their way to re-opening bookstore shelves.

 

     This is among the first quality work to surface concerning the spiritual significance behind the pandemic by a veteran of the preaching and teaching fields.  Erwin W. Lutzer brings forth a balanced, honest and encouraging book on what many have been suffering during these trying times, entitled: “Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What Is God Saying To Us?” (2020, 176 pages, Moody Publishers).  Lutzer is a natural in making the complex simple; bringing up the common questions that many people are asking as the pandemic continues its march across the modern world.

 

“Although God appears to be silent, I want to point out that He actually has spoken through the Scriptures, and, furthermore, His promises are to be believed.”

--Erwin W. Lutzer, Author

 

     Chapters include: “God Says, “I am in Charge, Trust Me.”, “A Mother Who Was Ready for the Big One” and “The Crisis That Changed Everything.”  “Pandemics, Plagues and Natural Disasters”, is in an easy-to-understand format, right at home with small group or youth Bible study.  With all of the questions young people may be having concerning the impact of the pandemic on their normal lives, this could be a book a youth instructor may turn to with some solid, biblical material for great discussions.

 

     “Pandemics, Plagues, and Natural Disasters: What Is God Saying To Us?” By Erwin W. Lutzer stands out from the pack of newcomers on the spiritual side of the pandemic.  It is available through your favorite bookstore, or on line through your favorite electronic book connection.
