Passionate? Yes. He is, in fact, a God of passion. The Bible says he hates sin and loves sinners, and he is moved with compassion toward needy people like widows and orphans. He can be grieved but can rejoice with joy comparable to that of a bridegroom rejoicing over his bride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Without doubt, the God of the Bible is a God of passion, including a passion for the completion of his global mission. But we can know the intensity of that passion only as we are aware of the why of that passion. This book is about the why of that passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/859113\/excerpt-2\/\" style=\"border-radius:3px;background-color:#134a93;font-size:15px\">READ AN EXCERPT<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westbowpress.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/859113-the-purpose-driven-god\" style=\"border-radius:3px;background-color:#134a93;font-size:15px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORDER A COPY NOW<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Purpose-Driven God Critical Issues That Underlie God\u2019s Passion for the Completion of His Global Mission This book is an attempt to answer the question, \u201cHow important to God is his global mission, and why is the completion of that mission so important to him?\u201d The answer to that question is of the essence, because &hellip; <\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/859113\/about-the-book\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;About the Book&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-full.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-27","page","type-page","status-publish","no-comments"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Purpose-Driven God Critical Issues That Underlie God\u2019s Passion for the Completion of His Global Mission This book is an attempt to answer the question, \u201cHow important to God is his global mission, and why is the completion of that mission so important to him?\u201d The answer to that question is of the essence, because\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"max-image-preview:large\" \/>\n\t<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem2.net\/WestBowPress\/859113\/about-the-book\/\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"generator\" content=\"All in One SEO (AIOSEO) 5.0.1.1\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n\t\t<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dennis D.
