Transformation comes from questions, not answers.
We often look to the Bible as the book of answers. How often, though, do we consider the challenging questions God asks? Hudson notes that Jesus was asked 183 questions in the Gospels but directly only answered three.
The Creator is teaching us as we teach children when they struggle with schoolwork: You learn more by doing than being fed an absolute answer.
In Questions God Asks Us, we're encouraged to focus on the quest rather than a resolution. Such an approach leads to deeper dialogue and intimacy with the divine. This is a critical turning point in our journey with God-as it was for the author.
"I thought the Bible existed to give me solutions to my everyday concerns and dilemmas," writes Hudson. "Then I realized I might be approaching God and the Bible from the wrong direction. It was as if God said to me, 'Trevor, rather than you always asking questions of me, start listening to the questions I have for you.'"
Each of 10 questions Hudson excerpts from the Old and New Testaments serves as a starting point for genuine conversation with the Creator. He assures, "We're not starting the conversation with God from scratch. God has already begun it. We just need to plug into the conversation that is already going on."
Questions God Asks Us offers a fresh approach for personal devotions and a unique discussion tool for small-group Bible studies. It's sure to bless anyone longing for a meaningful, growing relationship with God.

People often look to the Bible for answers, but Trevor Hudson notes that there are also questions God asks-questions that provide a starting point for a deep dialogue between God and human beings. In *Questions God Asks Us**, Hudson points to five questions posed by God the Father in the First Testament and five questions posed by Jesus-God the Son-in the Second Testament. The question "Where are you?" invites us to "come out of hiding" and be honest with God about our thoughts, feelings, and concerns. "What are you looking for?" invites us to discover the desires of our hearts and let God help us sort the healthy from the unhealthy. Each of ten questions serves as a starting point for genuine conversation with the Creator. Hudson assures us, "We are not starting the conversation with God from scratch. God has already begun it. We just need to plug into the conversation that is already going on." *Questions God Asks Us** offers a fresh approach for personal devotions and a unique discussion tool for small-group Bible studies. It is sure to bless anyone longing for a meaningful, intimate relationship with God.
