Have you ever had questions about God? If so, you are not alone–especially in the wake of the last twenty-five to thirty years of spiritual decline in America. Many people question God at one time or another, but recent decades have prompted a more widespread search for truth and answers.
It began on April 19, 1995, when a terrorist bomb ripped through the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 169 people. Then, on September 11, 2001, the world watched in horror as four hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field near Pittsburgh, claiming thousands of lives. If such senseless tragedies could happen in America—the world’s superpower—then the basic assumptions of security, morality, and reason felt suddenly fragile. Is it any wonder so many asked, “What is this world coming to?”
And today, the questions have only grown louder. Over the past three decades, America has strayed from the principles that once made it strong. Our nation has shifted from a largely religious culture to a secular one, where “woke” ideologies–diversity, gender, social justice, and free speech debates—have been used to deny God’s decrees and unravel the moral fabric of society.
Where was God in all of this?
God recognized what was happening and took control by raising up a reformer, protecting him from harm, and allowing Donald J. Trump to be elected–a leader chosen to help restore the nation’s temporal and spiritual foundations.
In A Perilous Time, Kurz offers hope in the face of devastation and clarity in the midst of confusion. With compassion and conviction, she explores how God moves through history to heal what seems irreparably broken and to mend what seems beyond repair. By the promise of His love and power he offers answers to those asking the hardest questions.
N. E. Kurz graduated from American Christian College, Oklahoma City, with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies. She is the author of seven other books and lives with her husband in Southwest Missouri.
