Additional Details


Your View of God Impacts Everything!
“In a friendly, even fatherly tone, Bill Johnson helps guide you through Scripture—Old Testament to the New—on an eye-opening journey to discovery that will radically transform the way you see and interact with God.” —from the foreword by ROBERT MORRIS, bestselling author of The Blessed Life and senior pastor of Gateway Church
“God is Good.” More than a positive thought, theological concept, or Biblical statement—what you do with these three words defines your reality and determines your destiny.
In a world of fear, disease, crisis, and uncertainty, what you believe about God’s goodness influences how you will respond to every situation in life.
Respected pastor and bestselling author, Bill Johnson presents a freshly updated edition of his groundbreaking book, calling readers to build their lives on one unshakable foundation: the assurance that God is Good.
“This book will challenge you, but the invitation toward a higher view of God is worth it!”—JOHN ELDREDGE, bestselling author of Wild at Heart and Fathered by God
“I am so, so happy you’ve picked this book up because of the life-changing revelation you’re about to encounter.”—BANNING LIEBSCHER, founder of Jesus Culture
“Bill Johnson’s latest book is the most important contemporary book I have read in our day.”—SHAWN BOLZ, bestselling author of Translating God
“I believe the words of this book will create in you a deeper hunger for God to transform your mind and your life.”—HEIDI BAKER, founder, Iris Global

- Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017It was January 7, 2007. That was the first time I met Bill Johnson. Not surprising to anyone was that he spoke on the Goodness of God then. This message of God's goodness is not something that he whipped up as a good idea. It is something that he has been living through for many, many years. I remember how impacted I was then and how overwhelmed I am now. You would think that a book like this would be a no-brainer. The problem is that we have all gone through the trials and afflictions of life. We don't understand the deep effect that has on us and to our belief systems. If yo have ever done any counseling, you discover real quick that many people blame God for a lot of their troubles. This makes it difficult for them, thinking they have to convince the Father to be kind to them.
This book exposes how far we have strayed from the truth in the thought of Whom God is. He revealed Himself to Moses as Goodness. Jesus said only the Father is Good. The Father is a lot better than we think, so we should change the way we think is not a tag line. It has been Bill's challenge to himself in every situation, and now it is ours. You will be challenged in this book. Not with hard concepts, but with the simplicity in Christ.
I don't know of anything that might be a the root of so much conflict as the thought that God is a Good God. You would think that His people would certainly know Him already. I love the book because it is not about a God who is willing to sacrifice His other characteristics for Goodness. God is a completely Good as He is completely Just, Righteous, Longsuffering, and Holy. Bill teaches about God's goodness without sacrificing our responsibility to live a Godly life. If you will grasp what is in this book, I believe you will say like the Psalmist:
Psa. 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
So go ahead, read this great book and be exposed to the Greatness of Good God. I dare you to stay the same when you are done. I not, but I haven't been since January 2007. That is the power of God's Goodness to those who believe.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2018The title is so true! There is no goodness apart from God. God is goodness. Many believer's know that God is love according to 1 John 4, so believing 'God is goodness' should not take a huge leap to grasp. It is in not believing that we invite confusion in our life. It is not just that God is good, which He is all the time continually; but that it is Him that He wants people to know and continually discover by His never ending goodness. This is a wonderfully written book to help with discovering who God is through His goodness and the transformation He has for our lives through knowing Him as He is. What a great life of discovery! I have bought a 2nd copy as a gift and buying another this week. This is too good to keep to myself which is a wonderful aspect of God's goodness!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017God is Good indeed! This is one of those rare books that you will read, re-read and meditate on over and over again. One in which the Holy Spirit can touch you with over and over again in deep and profound ways. I understand that what God uses within the pages of this book may impact me differently than another, but I am convinced there is something here for those who are new to Christ and for the mature saint as well. I believe this is a timely word for our day, for the young and the old who have been so disillusioned as to what fatherhood really means. The model has been ever before us and I think this book reveals God's nature in a deep and profound way.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2024This well-written book is an encouraging reminder of the eternal and limitless goodness of God. I appreciated the biblical references and personal applications included. I highly recommend this read.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2018Turns out God Is Good! Reading about God's goodness was no surprise Vicente title. I have been highly aware that I still struggle to actively participate in a relationship with a good, trustworthy God rather than an unstable angry God I must appease! Bill Johnson truly helped redefine my image of God and deconstruct the image of a god I had built from my own understanding of a Father's love, which is not scriptural and doesn't line up with God's nature and character! I loved Bill Johnson's accurate, careful, and purposeful use of scripture! Great Book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Biblische Lehre in der Vollmacht des Heiligen Geistes
Bill Johnson spricht ein Problem an, dessen sich viele nicht bewusst sind: Den Zweifel an Gottes Güte. Klar, dass man die Liebe Gottes nicht über den Verstand erfahren kann - aber zumindest kann man einsehen, dass Zweifel daran diametral dem entgegen steht, wie sich Gott im AT und NT vorstellt. Ausserdem weckt er eine Sehnsucht nach mehr von Gott, einen wachsenden geistlichen Hunger.
Wissen, woher man kommt, wohin man geht und wie es um einen steht, ist unabdingbar für ein fröhliches Christenleben, das begeistert und andere ansteckt.
- William DuijzerReviewed in the Netherlands on October 9, 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars Good God, good book
Inspiring message about a very important subject in church today. We will truly be changed as we discover the goodness of God. This book will help you with that!
