Synopsis
The Insanity of God is the personal and lifelong journey of an ordinary couple from rural Kentucky who thought they were going on just your ordinary missionary pilgrimage, but discovered it would be anything but. After spending over six hard years doing relief work in Somalia, and experiencing life where it looked like God had turned away completely and He was clueless about the tragedies of life, the couple had a crisis of faith and left Africa asking God, "Does the gospel work anywhere when it is really a hard place? It sure didn't work in Somalia. Nik recalls that, "God had always been so real to me, to Ruth, and to our boys. But was He enough, for the utter weariness of soul I experienced at that time, in that place, under those circumstances?" It is a question that many have asked and one that, if answered, can lead us to a whole new world of faith. How does faith survive, let alone flourish in a place like the Middle East? How can good truly overcome such evil? How do you maintain hope when all is darkness around you? How can we say "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world" when it may not be visibly true in that place at that time? How does anyone live an abundant, victorious Christian life in our world's toughest places? Can Christianity even work outside of Western, dressed-up, ordered nations? If so, how? The Insanity of God tells a story--a remarkable and unique story to be sure, yet at heart a very human story--of the Ripkens' own spiritual and emotional odyssey. The gripping, narrative account of a personal pilgrimage into some of the toughest places on earth, combined with sobering and insightful stories of the remarkable people of faith Nik and Ruth encountered on their journeys, will serve as a powerful course of revelation, growth, and challenge for anyone who wants to know whether God truly is enough., An amazing story of a missionary couple's journey into the toughest places on earth is combined with stories about remarkable people of faith they encountered to challenge and inspire those curious about the sufficiency of God.

    Item arrived well packaged as the seller assured it would be. Thank you very much for that!! To all the other sellers out there…..bubble wrap goes a long way just saying. I have had several packages arrive damaged due to poor packaging knowing that today’s carriers don’t care what’s in the bag or box. Seller responded quickly when I had initially reached out to them about assuring it would be well packaged and protected. Item arrived in the new condition it was listed as. Thank you.

    Our sanity is humbled by God's.

    God's ways are not our ways, nor are our thoughts his thoughts. Our sanity is humbled by God's. The power and simplicity of the gospel are presented through compelling stories of unyielding persistence in the face of heart wrenching scenarios of persecution. The cruelty of wickedness is no match for the power of God's overwhelming love. This is not about casual wimpy faith as so many of us encounter, but is about hearts enslaved by the love of God and supernatural perseverance, and deliverance. It is uncomfortably real and very powerful. Read it and be blessed. I bought extra copies to share.

    A must read for the aspiring missionary

    This book is the best book I have read on the subject of personal experience and testimony of the work of God in present day. The book starts with a vivid and compelling testimony of a boy's personal experience with the living God and the way He works on a personal level in today's world. He transitions to his family's personal account of a fledgling attempt at missionary work in a hostile environment and how that ground-zero startup morphed into a powerful and effective catalyst that forced the world to take notice of a conflict raging in that part of the world. He then describes his experiences in a personal journey of inquiry into the questions that each of us who are serious christians face in our own lives regarding struggle, trial, persecution, triumph, and heartfelt worship in a ...

    Stories you won't forget.

    The last half of the book where the author goes to areas with persecuted people was like reading the New Testament. It was full of incredible works of God and faithful believers who valued knowing God.

    Christians in the persecuted world.

    One of the most interesting books I have read in a long time. Don’t give up during the first 135 pages when the main characters are not successful. The rest of the book is filled with examples of miracles taking place in the persecuted world.

    Real Christianity today is often watered down and twisted, but this is a book that describes real faith put into action.
