"In God Is (Not) In Control, Jason gives us the liberty to color outside the lines of our many unperceived biases about God. He courageously addresses the "logic of love," which always leads us on a journey from knowing, to not knowing, to a new knowing…
…This book is an invitation to those who realize that if we are afraid of the answers, we will never ask the hard questions. I applaud Jason for the courage he’s demonstrated to reintroduce us to a God who is immeasurably good and relentlessly loves us regardless of where we are on our journey."

"God is not in control, but He is in charge." Bill Johnson
As we awaken to the love of Jesus, we are invited to transition from one narrative to another-from sinner to saint, orphan to son or daughter, lost to found, law to grace, slave to free, from a theology of control to a theology of love.
"The opposite of love is not fear; it’s control." Donald Miller
With grace, humor, and wisdom, Jason writes about two narratives on the planet, two ways by which to know God: Control or Love.
"God is sovereign, and God is in control are two different thoughts; they are two totally different things." Todd White
Jason highlights how a theology of sovereign control compromises God’s goodness and positions humanity in the most desperate of insecurities.
"The belief that God controls everything that happens to us is one of the devil’s biggest inroads into our lives." Andrew Wommack
This book is an invitation to grow sure in God’s sovereign love and transition from fear, insecurity, and striving into trust, intimacy, and freedom.
"If God was in control, you wouldn’t have any freedom; you’d be controlled." Graham Cooke
God Is (Not) In Control shines with the goodness of God. This books message will encourage those:
– who have wrestled with the question, "If God is good, why do bad things happen? Why is there suffering? Why is there evil?"
– who have questions about hell, punishment, and an angry Old Testament God in light of Jesus’ reconciling love
– who have experienced the paralysis of "try harder" Christianity under the rule of a bipolar God
– who desire to experience God’s presence, closeness, love, and affection.
"It is not often my heart jumps when I read a book, but it did in reading, God Is (Not) In Control. This is a very needed book, with very needed truths for the church today." – Richard Oliver, Overseer of The River Fellowship
"The difficult part of learning is the unlearning, and as a growing number of us have discovered, what needs to be unlearned is the idea that there is an outside space and time deity (masculine, of course) who makes interventionist moves from time to time, in order to control.
As Jason rightly points out, a controlling God is not only unloving, and uninspiring, it’s also unbiblical. I hope lots of people read this book and learn new and interesting ideas about love, which might help us unlearn old and tired ideas around control."
