‘Evil has never stopped doing what evil does, but […] God has never stopped doing what God does.’
The Insanity of God is the true story about the experiences of missionaries Nik and Ruth Ripken. After the death of their son Timothy, this couple journeys into the depths of the persecuted church, as they ask themselves the question: ‘Is Jesus worth it?’
