Based on sermons originally delivered by Bishop Tom Wright during Easter 2007, this book uses the story of a coal-mining town in northern England as a modern parable for loss and rebirth.

In this grave hour, we long to experience the embrace of infinite love from our Father in heaven. The importance of this great need is owing to an avalanche of problems that are now confronting us. We are hateful, lonely, hurting, scared, and confused. The cruelty in our culture has reached a state of emergency. Our generation has experienced the painful revelations of widespread abuse in leadership. At every turn we have come up short. No matter what we do the trouble persists and the fear remains. More connected than ever, but more divided, we cannot help but see a longing in ourselves and our neighbors for relationship, shared truth, and clarity of purpose. In the face of animosity, failure, isolation, and betrayal is a love that speaks to our greatest longings and heaviest needs, but have we taken God's love for granted? Now more than ever, and more than anything, people need to find their way into the compassionate embrace of their Father in heaven. The Great Love of God provides an accessible, passionate exploration of how the divine love casts out fear, provides ultimate hope, and never fails.

GOD HAS BIG PLANS FOR AMERICA In a follow-up, companion piece to his 2016 book, The Timing of the Rapture, Paul Wild convincingly makes the case that the United States is prominently presented in the Book of Daniel and urges readers to abandon the classical view that Daniel discusses only nations of antiquity. He challenges those who, through allegorical methods, treat passages of Scripture intended for the nations of Israel and Iraq (ancient Babylon) as if they are applicable to the United States. Allegorical methods are open to the whims of people's imaginations and become disconnected from the plain meaning of scripture, whereas the method of using Scripture to unlock Scripture demonstrates that the United States and other modern nations, such as Russia and China, are identifiable, and their fates can be ascertained. Paul encourages the reader to look beyond the coming judgement on the United States toward its future repentance and restoration. Christians who grasp the magnitude of our country's fate will be better prepared for the coming shaking. A prudent man forseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on and are punished. Proverbs 22:3
