Synopsis: There is no doubt that we are entering the final stages of the history of this world. Lawless abounds, terrorism is on the increase, and wars and rumours of wars are abound. Natural disasters such as tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods and tornados are also becoming more common as the earth struggles under the burden of humankind's rebellion. So what does the future hold for the beloved of Christ? Finding God In A Broken World provides insight into the steps to remaining free in Christ during the turbulent days ahead. The book explores seven keys areas - from embracing the love of God, finding Gods purpose for our lives, and overcoming the world, to living the victorious christian life and remaining free in Christ, regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves facing in the coming days. Author John R. Clarke's scientific background gives him a distinctive insight into the Bible and the word of God, and it allows for a different perspective on the events of the end times and christian living than those normally provided by theologians. Although the times of the last days can be fraught with tension, unease and even hostility, it is important for christians to know that by understanding the difficult aspects of God's teachings, his positive purposes and his plans for eternity will come into better perspective. By meditating on these teachings, the hope and prayer is that believers can find inspiration, comfort and blessings. 

Review: Firstly, I would like to say that I am grateful for having won this giveaway. Even though I am not a religious person I do like to know what other people experience in turns of belief and how it influences their life. I find religion to be an interesting topic so am always happy to read about the different religions. This book provides lots of insight into Christianity, the Bible and the modern world. I found this book to be an interesting read and would be a good read for everyone, religious or not, as they can get an in depth look into and understanding of Christianity. This book is not one that sugar coats Christians and Christianity; it shows that Christians are just regular people and that they make mistakes just like everyone else but that they atone for their mistakes and it also shows that some branches of Christianity misunderstand the teachings of the Bible by charging for the word of God. This book was written to show that God is relevant in the modern world and that Christians should not lose faith. Whether religious or not I would recommend reading this book to christians, other religious people and people who do not believe at all as it is an interesting read. 

Rating: I am giving this book a rating of 3 stars as I am not religious but I did enjoy learning more about Christianity and how it is relevant in the modern world for those who do believe.
