We’ve all been scratching our heads.
Usual freedoms removed. Familiar comforts gone. Economic ruin. Fear, anxiety, paranoia and pain. Everything we once relied on...gone. This is undoubtedly a good time to tell people about the hope they can have in a God who knows, cares and suffered like we do.
That’s why John Lennox has written Where Is God in a Coronavirus World?
How belief in a loving and sovereign God helps us to make sense of and cope with the suffering caused by COVID-19.
But it begs the question—how? If I can’t leave my house, how can I actually tell people the good news? And how can I get a book like this into their hands? It certainly casts a strange light onto what Paul said in Romans 10 v 14.
It’s a logistical challenge that calls for some creativity. So here are 5 ways you can use Where Is God in a Coronavirus World? during a national lockdown.
Start a virtual book club and encourage every member to get a copy for themselves.
Drop it through mailboxes when you're doing your daily exercise (in a safe and hygienic way, of course).
Leave a pile at your local bus stop/shopping center/community center.
Leave a pile on your doorstep with a sign for delivery men offering them a free copy.
Post a photo of it on social media or your neighbourhood WhatsApp group along with a quote from the book.
Oh, and lastly, please do send us a photo to admin@thegoodbook.com of how you’re using or sharing the book. We need all the ideas we can get!
