    How would you like to pray to this god to answer your desperate prayers each day? Prayer would be a gamble each and every time. If you were single and you were praying for love and marriage, this kind of mercurial god might give you Hannibal Lecter or Jeffrey Epstein for a boyfriend!

If the Bible were a playlist, Nahum would be the song you’d skip every time. It’s the book we totally ignore. But we shouldn’t ignore it. Here’s why you ...read more
