Dr. Raphael must have an angel on his shoulder. His insights as to the motives of the Father are very logical and follow the idea that God is Love. And that God's actions and motives flow from that first fact. Thank you for your work.

What Was God Thinking?! is a powerful essay, in which author Daniel Raphael proclaims three truths of God - that God is loving, compassionate, and good; that God has never needed or required sacrifices for His love; and that God created humans for a profound reason. What Was God Thinking?! is highly recommended as an uplifting and enlightening treatise on faith, the power of love, and a reverence for the divine that may diverge in "letter of the law" according to some traditional Christian teachings, but that is undeniably written straight from a faithful heart and soul.

Dear Dr. Raphael,
Thank you for your letter and the book. .... I think you have a brilliant idea. It reads more like a manual for students than a book. .... My sense is that if you would think of it as an Adult Study Educational piece - couple it with a lesson plan - then it might have a good run as Adult Ed. Material in churches. Your insights are beautiful. // I wish you well, John Shelby Spong
