God is Not... by D Brent Laytham

God Is Not ...takes on today's prevailing misconceptions about who God is by boldly stating who God is not. Rodney Clapp critiques pop culture's anthem to a slobby, ineffective God like us, while D. Stephen Long, in God Is Not Nice, questions our therapy-fed longing for a useful, nonthreatening deity. If God is not an American or a capitalist or religious, as contributors Michael Baxter, Mike Budde, and William T. Cavanaugh go on to argue, then who is God? Laytham concludes with a stirring essay on who God is, calling the church to visibly demonstrate where its primary allegiance lies. Audacious without being rude, God Is Not ...is a lively, necessary, and intelligently reverent read.
