Synopsis

When we encounter human suffering or personal tragedy, Christians and non-Christians alike utter the same refrain: Where is God?

If God exists, then where in the world is he? Why doesn't he show himself? And how can we tell if God is really working or not? Tim Muehlhoff gives us insight into recognizing how God is at work in the world. He unpacks the doctrine of common grace to uncover how God works in ways that we don't always realize. If we have a limited idea of what divine action looks like—dramatic answers to prayer, healings with no medical explanation, financial needs being met unexpectedly—then we miss seeing how God acts through common grace in ordinary, everyday ways such as antibiotics, financial planners, and thoughtful friends. Muehlhoff offers dozens of illustrations from contemporary culture to help us understand and communicate how God is present and acting in the world today. Discover how God cares for our troubled world as he gives you the eyes to see.

Goodreads review by Nicole on December 01, 2022

I heard the author on one of my favorite podcasts and he was fantastic. This book is reminding us and showing us how God most commonly moves through ‘common grace’ not through major miracles such as sea partings. It’s a short read. Only two hours in an audiobook but I absolutely recommend it. Listen......more

Goodreads review by Tristan on May 29, 2022

I read this book after Tim’s interview on theology in the raw and I probably could have just ended with the interview. A very helpful thought about looking for common grace in every day life, but this book didn’t add much more than what was offered on theology in the raw.......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on June 09, 2023

The first chapter was great, but each chapter after that could have been shorter. Would be good as an essay or shorter book.......more
