    Great book
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2023*

We all deserve Hell, but as God, Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay the penalty for the sins of every person who would repent and believe, and He’s going to return to judge.In order to be born again as Jesus said in John 3:3 you must recognize that you're a depraved sinner, repent or turn from your sins, and put all of your trust in Jesus as God and His death and resurrection as the payment for your sins.

    Diagnostic Delivery
  

*by M***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 15, 2014*

Something is ailing the Christian Church in North America, especially among Evangelicals. One can sense it, feel the “wrongness” vibrating in the chord progressions, and smell it in the faux happiness oozing through the pores of smiling audiences. Since the early 1990s David Wells, Distinguished Senior Research Professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, has been tackling the trouble in book after book. But now he has decidedly brought forth a prescription that is remedial and refreshing in his new 272 page hardback, “God in the Whirlwind: How the Holy-love of God Reorients Our World.”If the reader has delved into Wells’ previous writings, some of the material will not be new. The author’s cultural and ecclesiastical diagnostic evaluations are clearly evident in this new book. And his analysis soundly pin-points the trouble: the American social consciousness has moved away from a moral world and into a psychological world. Flowing through the bloodstream of the nation is a viral infection that is all consumed with the inner self and the therapeutic antidote. Wells goes further and contends, rightly in my mind, that this viral infection has found its way into the Evangelical Church where it has been festering and replicating itself for decades. This is seen in the greater and greater move away from Biblical preaching to inspirational chats; away from declaring the holiness and righteousness of God to talking exclusively about the non-judgmental “love” of God, a “love” that resonates with the wounded inner selves of “audiences” and “clientele” that need to feel confirmed; away from the classic Protestant model of justification and sanctification (what Calvin called the duplex gratia) to an abbreviated, affirming, aimless pattern that points solely at justification. This shift in the Church, as Wells notes, is evidence that the Evangelical Church is being pressed into the mold of our world, and no longer has anything to offer; “The more churches become like their own culture, the less reason there is to be in a church. What the church offers can be had from the culture far more conveniently and perhaps at less cost” (199).But unlike his previous works, Wells spends more ink on the corrective in “God in the Whirlwind.” He works his way through nine chapters showing how regaining the holy-love of God is curative and restorative. That the holiness of God reminds us that we are really living in a moral world and that the outside-of-us God has announced to us what is right and wrong. That this holy God is seriously concerned with justice and morality; and that he wants humankind to reflect the ethical character of God. Similarly the love of God is all about what God has done for his people through his sui generis Son, Jesus Christ (justification), and what he is doing in his people by the working presence of his Holy Spirit (sanctification). And Wells goes on showing how the love of God is never devoid or without the holiness of God.As we recover the holy-love of God, our worlds take on different shapes, altered outlines; “In a psychological world, we want therapy; in a moral world, a world of right and wrong and good and evil, we want redemption. In a psychological world, we want to be happy. In a moral world, we want to be holy. In the one, we want to feel good, but in the other we want to be good” (126). As we once again embrace, and become embraced by, the holy-love of God, we begin to see things in their proper place; “He is not before us to be used by us. He is not there begging to enter our internal world and satisfy our therapeutic needs. We are before him to hear his commandment. And his commandment is that we should be holy, which is a much greater thing than being happy” (127). In recovering what we, classic Protestants, once confessed to be true, it affects our lives in the ways we live, work, worship and serve; “We believe the gospel, not only so that our guilt might be forgiven, but so that henceforth, on a daily basis, we might live for Christ, walking in his ways, living by the power of the Holy Spirit, who leads us into the paths of godliness” (159).“God in the Whirlwind” is a mildly tough work, in that the twenty to thirty page chapters require sustained concentration. But the reader will reap satisfaction upon completing the book, because it opens the windows of the stuffy rooms of our inner selves and lets in the freeing divine wind. This book would be beneficial for congregational elder boards to read and discuss and reflect upon; but ultimately, it is an essential read for every Evangelical pastor. Fellow Pastors, David Wells has pulled together a work that will help you to discern the unseen pressures that are trying to squeeze you into syrupy sentimentalism. It will encourage you to stay the course as you preach the Gospel of King Jesus. And it will feed your soul as you spend days and weeks reflecting on the holy-love of God. I highly recommend the book!

    God-Centered Admonition
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2014*

Jeremiah warned the people of God.  He did not shirk his responsibility.  And he never winked at sin.  Jeremiah spoke the truth with clarity and passion.  We are in desperate needs of prophetic voices in our day.  We need men like Jeremiah who are unafraid of compromisers and capitulators.  We need men like Jeremiah who shoot straight and stand straight.David Wells is numbered among such men.  He has been standing straight and shooting straight since he first published No Place for Truth: Or What Ever Happened to Evangelical Theology in 1993.  I remember the deep impact that Wells writing had on me in those days as a rookie pastor.  Over twenty years later, Dr. Wells continues to shoot straight and stand straight.  He continues to warn the people of God, much like Jeremiah warned Israel in the Old Testament.Yet, some people just can't come to grips with reality.  One reviewer on Amazon compares Dr. Well's with a "grumpy old man."  He continues, “God in the Whirlwind” is big on complaining, lamenting, and raging against what is wrong and very short on how to make things better."At 75, Dr. Wells is getting older.  This much is true.  But to compare him to a grumpy old man is the height of arrogance and the epitome of disrespect.  Dr. David Wells is the author of at least twenty books and has taught at Gordon-Conwell Seminary since 1979. Currently, he is the Distinguished Senior Research Professor at Gordon-Conwell.David Well's latest book, God in the Whirlwind is an honest look at culture and Christianity.  He calls followers of Jesus Christ to cast aside the therapeutic vision of God and embrace the God of the Bible who is fully transcendent and immanent, what Well's refers to as God's "holy-love."  Well's argues for a fresh vision of God that will transform individuals and impact communities for the sake of the gospel: "... We need a fresh vision of God and his character of holy-love.  Our understanding of his greatness gets worn down, sometimes worn out, by the constant rubbing against our highly modernized life  It is this vision, though, this knowing of God, that puts steel into spines and fire into Christian hearts.  When we are God-centered in our thoughts, God-fearing in our hearts, when we see with clarity what his character of holy-love is like, he begins to have weight in our lives."4.5 starsHighly recommended!
