Have you ever wondered what the God of the Bible is up to? Have you asked what he is trying to accomplish considering the state of our world and your own life? Is he paying attention while nations war against nation, when innocents die at the hands of terrorists, when crime cripples families, when individuals can't seem to get their lives together? Is he at fault? Are we? How does he plan to make right everything that has gone wrong? And we know this world has gone wrong! Does he really love us? If he does, how has he shown it? Is this world all there is, or should I hope for something more, something better and eternal? If you've had questions like these, then this book is for you. Read on for a discussion of God's working through creation, turning away (sin), reconciliation, and restoration (heaven) and see what you might have missed--see what God is really up to.

Praise for What in the World Is God Up To?

“Mike Christensen has nailed it—a simple book to read and grasp but filled with big-picture thinking. What in the World Is God Up To? is a valuable read. Mike has been a trusted friend for over three decades, and I believe in him and his integrity.”

—Gene Tanner, pastor emeritus, Valparaiso Nazarene Church



“Christensen raises a poignant, perennial, and powerful question about what on earth God is doing now. In response, this book provides an excellent snapshot of God’s economy of creation, redemption, and consummation. The ultimate plan of God, who is infinitely loving and holy, is to ‘be with us’ forever in the new heaven and earth. Compellingly and clearly written, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the value, meaning, and significance of human life and cosmic history.”

—Sung Wook Chung, Denver Seminary
