The one about suffering

God Is (Not) In Control

The Whole Story Is Better Than You Think

If God is running everything, then everything that happened was His idea. The diagnosis. The accident. The thing you still can’t say out loud.

About the Book

Most of us were handed that sentence young and told it was comfort. This book takes it seriously instead of explaining it away — and finds a better story underneath. One where love doesn’t control, and never needed to.

What People Said

I hope lots of people read God Is (Not) In Control and learn new and interesting ideas about love, which might help us unlearn old and tired ideas around control.

It is not often my heart jumps when I read a book, but it did in reading God Is (Not) In Control. What incredible hope it releases.

Richard G. Oliver apostolic overseer, The River Revival Fellowship

Jason’s intelligent, witty, and down-to-earth articulation of Kingdom truths invites readers from all walks of life to rethink troubling assumptions surrounding God’s sovereignty.

The message of this book has been a wrecking ball to the long-standing theology of control in my life that undermined my access to trust, fearless faith, and intimacy with God.
