WHAT TICKS GOD OFF

I am reading this book entitled "What Ticks GOD Off" by Bruce Bickel and Stan Jantz.
It is a very refreshing book written in a very light and easy to read style. But its message is solemn. There are so many ways that we irritate God. Just to name a few examples from the book - failing to acknowledge that God was the source of our prosperity and wealth, ignoring or forgetting God, abandoning God's laws and any connection between Him and the routine of real life, arrogance toward God and rebellion against His precepts, spiritual hypocrisy, running to the wrong direction like Jonah, oppress or neglect the poor, stand aloof and refusing to help those in need, gloat over those in trouble, rejoice when others suffer like Edom etc etc.

But there is good news. The lives of the minor prophets highlight God's grace and forgiveness. Let Bruce and Stan help us to get back on track and find our way back to the heart of God
