In lively and accessible style, God's Healing Strategy portrays God's persevering love as the heart of the Bible's message. Bible study can focus on details at the expense of the Bible's overarching themes. Without losing sight of the details, this short but thorough book identifies God's healing love as the central theme of the Bible and challenges Christians to let that love shape lives today.

God's "healing strategy" is to show mercy to a chosen group of people and to empower them to offer this mercy to the rest of the world. The Bible tells the story of the successes and failures of God's chosen people in carrying out this task. The Bible's enduring teaching continues to challenge people to trust in God's mercy and to share that mercy with others.

This book speaks to those who simply want an overview of the Bible's main themes. It speaks to those who would like to learn more of the Bible's ethical relevance. And, it speaks to those who want to grow in their trust in the Bible's merciful and healing God.
