“This book is a compendium for all people in difficult situations and are asking the question of where is God? or why has the good God allowed this to happen to me? It is an antidote for depression caused by troubles of life. Its academic, theological, spiritual, and practical richness makes it useful for readers from different backgrounds. It is a must-read for all who want to finish their life’s journeys well.”

“Put on your thinking cap as you read this book. Do not try to skim through its pages…When you have completed a thorough and considered reading of this book, you will be better equipped to minister the gospel to the unbelieving – whether they be atheist, agnostic or simply the unconcerned or uncaring. You will also be able to encourage and strengthen the believer in his or her resolve to live out the Christ-life with boldness as they minister to and encourage those around them.”

“Whether you come to this text as a Jesus-follower or an atheist, you will be offered help and hope from a logical and thoroughly biblical answer as to why a good, all-powerful God allows such evil to happen in this world. Do we want God to zap away all evil now? That would include all humanity. Do we want only the evil we experience to be done away with? That would be untenable. Wherever you land in this discussion of theodicy, Babatunde Agboola offers a conclusion with the best, no, the only option that provides real answers, real hope in this evil world. There is a purpose beyond the pain when one understands the goodness and wisdom of God over humanity. This scripture-driven text shows us that the Christian God is not caught off guard by the evil in His good creation. He sees, He cares, and He knows the end of evil is on the way. Be comforted that God is at work, especially when you are devastated by your painful trials. “

“In almost 25 years of practicing journalism during which I have read many books, including authoring a few and editing several others, never have I come across a book that affected my Christian faith like Behold, I Make All Thing New! To say the book is inspiring is understating the fact. It is more than an inspiration. It is actually a revelation of how God wants us to deal with pain and unpalatable events in life…The author, who I have known for close to 30 years, presents his personal experience of pain in a gripping manner that exposes biblical and intellectual concepts, helping to resolve many knotty issues surrounding life’s challenges in a way that encourages us to trust in the all-knowing God to have the final say.”
