Our morally deteriorating culture has forgotten God’s goodness. The survival of the Christian faith depends on creating a culture of God-memories that must start now!

Today’s culture is quickly forgetting the goodness and power of God. The Bible describes the potential destruction through all generations to people who forget God. The dangers are paramount. If we don’t remember what God has already done, we won’t believe what he is capable of doing in the future. Memory builds faith.

Forsaken God? explores biblical examples of forgetting God as God repeatedly pleads for his people to remember his mighty acts and deeds. As you read this captivating book, you will have an opportunity to recall your own memories of God and learn the power of sharing those memories with the next generation. Janet Thompson and other contributors share open and honest stories of forgetting God’s goodness and offer ways that help them to remember that will help you too!

Sharing life's experiences and God's faithfulness is the premise of Janet's writing and speaking. She's the author of 18 books and has an MA in Christian Leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary and an MBA from Cal Lutheran University. After living in California all her life, and a member of Saddleback Church for 23 years, she and her husband Dave now enjoy living in the rural mountains of Idaho.

“Forsaken God? is a must-read book! Janet skillfully points the reader to specific ways we can remember the goodness of God. This book poignantly weaves biblical wisdom with the true stories of people who have rediscovered the power of honoring, praising, and celebrating God. The bonus in the last few chapters offers hands-on steps for fostering a generation of people who choose to remember the praiseworthy deeds of our God and will pass that knowledge on to others. This is a book you will refer to again and again.”
—Carol Kent, speaker and author of When I Lay My Isaac Down

“This book does a great job of challenging us to share our spiritual journey with our children, grandchildren, and future generations in verbal stories and/or in print. Our stories of how we have experienced God working in and through our lives can have a great impact on future generations of his faithfulness in our lives. We can demonstrate to them that life is hard, not always fair, but God will walk with us if we allow him to hold our hand.”
