Is there any hope for our world, or have we made an irreparable mess of it? Do you put your trust in government to bring about true justice and world peace? Or is your faith in science to save the planet, or in medicine to heal all ills? Or do you think that human lives are damaged beyond repair, that relationships are hopelessly fractured, and that the planet itself is hurtling toward inevitable destruction? The premise of this book is that the Creator of the world is both willing and able to rescue His entire creation, including every human being who has ever lived. He will right all wrongs, heal all infirmities, reconcile all relationships, and restore the entire planet and beyond. The fact that He has given us the opportunity to make our own choices, which often are destructive ones, opens the door to the possibility that the final redemption of the world will be more spectacularly glorious than if we had never had the chance to go wrong. If you hold to any religion, you probably believe that at least you and others of your faith will have a blissful future; imagine if that bliss and perfection could be extended beyond yourself and your circle of faith. If you are a Christian, you believe that Jesus will save the world in some sense; let yourself explore the possibility that He will rescue the world in a greater sense than you ever imagined. And if you have no religion at all or have given up on any hope that life can be better beyond what we make of it in this world, then you may actually be in a good position to consider these truths objectively, without the preconceptions of a religion. Whatever the case, don't be afraid to entertain these ideas. And whatever good you long for most-for yourself or for others-be encouraged that with God, nothing is impossible.…

The premise of this book is that the Creator of the world is both willing and able to rescue His entire creation, including every human being who has ever lived.

If you hold to any religion, you probably believe that at least you and others of your faith will have a blissful future; imagine if that bliss and perfection could be extended beyond yourself and your circle of faith. If you are a Christian, you believe that Jesus will “save the world” in some sense; let yourself explore the possibility that He will rescue the world in a greater sense than you ever imagined. And if you have no religion at all or have given up on any hope that life can be better beyond what we make of it in this world, then you may actually be in a good position to consider these truths objectively, without the preconceptions of a religion. Whatever the case, don’t be afraid to entertain these ideas. And whatever good you long for most—for yourself or for others—be encouraged that with God, nothing is impossible.
Review by George W. Sarris: Just about anyone interested in the subject of Universal Salvation from a Biblical perspective will find this book interesting, informative, challenging and encouraging. It’s a fascinating collection of 60 essays – some short, some longer, all interesting – that address a wide variety of topics relating to what the Bible actually teaches about who God is and what His ultimate plan is for all of His creation. Are you a Calvinist? You will be challenged, informed and encouraged. Are you an Arminian? You will be challenged, informed and encouraged. Do you not know or care what the difference is between a Calvinist and an Arminian? You will be challenged, informed and encouraged. Does God love everybody? Should we love everybody? Is there grace beyond the grave? How much are people really worth? What is Hellfire? What about the unpardonable sin? In what way are God’s ways higher than our ways? These are just a few of the many topics that are specifically addressed in individual essays. Does ultimate restoration mean all paths lead to heaven? Does a belief in ultimate restoration downplay the seriousness of sin? Does a belief in ultimate restoration reduce the incentive to share the gospel? What about Adolf Hitler? These are just a few of the many questions that are specifically asked and answered in the book. This book is clearly the result of thoughtful reflection and careful study. Those who read it will come away with a stronger and more informed faith, and an increased love and respect for the God of heaven whose love is unconditional, whose power is irresistible, and who never gives up on those He created in His image.« Synopsis » peut appartenir à une autre édition de cet ouvrage.
À propos de l’auteur
Diane Perkins Castro is the author of Reflections of a Tomboy Grandma, which highlights the uniqueness and worth of every human being as created in the image of God. Her second book builds on this theme, showing that not a single human being will be excluded from God’s work of redemption.
Diane and her husband, Tony, make their home on the North Shore of Massachusetts. They are the parents of six grown children and they have eight grandchildren. Not exactly a typical grandma, Diane enjoys volleyball, snowboarding, hiking, biking, and obstacle races.
