The Goodness of God An Exploration of Nahum 1:7 and the Unchanging Nature of God’s Heart “The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.” — Nahum 1:7 (NKJV) When life feels uncertain, one truth remains unshaken— God is good. But what does that really mean? And how can we hold on to that truth when His goodness seems hidden behind hardship, delay, or loss? In The Goodness of God , Olivia Jonah leads readers on a heartfelt journey through Scripture to rediscover the beauty, power, and constancy of God’s goodness. Drawing from Nahum 1:7 and unfolding its message through both Old and New Testament revelation, this book explores how divine goodness: Anchors the believer in times of trouble - Leads us to repentance rather than fear - Reveals itself through Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd - Refines us through waiting, pruning, and restoration - Transforms us into living reflections of God’s nature From the valleys of sorrow to the mountaintops of praise, every chapter invites readers to see God’s goodness not as a moment, but as a movement —eternal, merciful, and redemptive. “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.” — Psalm 136:1 (NKJV) The Goodness of God will stir worship, strengthen faith, and remind you that no matter what season you walk through, His goodness is still pursuing you.
