No, Lord takes a penetrating look at Bible characters who gave God some pretty serious pushback and gained his approval in the process. We know these stories by heart, yet we have no theology for them. We've heard them in Sunday school and listened to preachers praise these heroes' faith, audacity, and courage. But if we place them in the category of people who knew when they had permission to challenge God's revealed will, what exactly did they know at the time? And what lessons should we take away from these stories? In dozens of everyday situations we must discern when to carry out God's command to the letter and when to defer instead to some higher guiding principle. This book explores the 'radical' idea that the same Spirit who inspired the Bible is ready and willing to hear my questions, objections, and complaints about the real-time choices I have to make today. It describes how we don't worship a God who wraps his commands around bricks and impersonally tosses them down from heaven, but who is still open for business and isn't scared off when we cry out, No, Lord.
