The Plan We Need for Security, Peace, and Justice: Problems the Patriarch Job Had, Advice Job Needed, Solutions the Apostle Paul Had, the Plan We Need George Skoglund

Our search for security, peace, and justice continues to be an individual and a collective challenge. The Old Testament experiences of the patriarch Job and the New Testament experiences of the apostle Paul provide a framework for understanding the hope that enriches our lives under God's care. The plan we need recognizes that we have choices to make. We have decisions that influence the direction of our lives. To find security, peace, and justice, we need a plan to form and keep a right relationship with God. When we lose control over the decisions that set security, peace, and justice in our lives, we can feel like a pile of broken pieces. To have security, peace, and justice, we need to live in fellowship with God. When our purpose and direction in life meet God's requirements, we please God. With Jesus Christ as our Savior and the Holy Spirit as our Helper, God provides the support we need to find rest and renewal. The foundation of our happiness now and our hope for the future is our salvation and the joy of sharing our beliefs with others. When our thoughts and actions are in keeping God's will for us, we can access the possibilities and power that God makes available to us as mature members in God's family. This book is for anyone who feels disconnected from God. For people dealing with loneliness, fear, despair, and anger, "The Plan We Need for Security, Peace, and Justice" describes a systematic way to become a functioning part of the body of Christ and to complete the connection with God.
