Great book!There was a story I learned growing up. Five blind men who did not know what an elephant was like found an elephant. Since they could not see, they felt around to imagine what an elephant would be like. One felt the leg and said, "An elephant is like a tower!". Another felt the trunk and said, "No! it is more like a python!". Another felt the tail and said," No! An elephant is more like a rope!". Another felt the stomach and said," You are all wrong! An elephant is like a big sack!"For a mere review from me reduces any holiness for the grandiose scale of the book though short in quantity however irrelevant to quality, I've added quotes that touched me. Reflection upon revealed truth naturally follows the advent of faith, but faith comes first to the hearing ear, not to the cogitating mind. The believing man does not ponder the Word and arrive at faith by a process of reasoning, nor does he seek confirmation of faith from philosophy or science. His cry is, "O, earth, earth,
This book causes you to think of God in all his majesty and glory. It did so by exposing how my thinking of God was a lot lower than it should be considering the awesome and glorious majesty of God. A true desire to know God as revealed in his word will inevitably result in true and reverent worship of him both privately and publicly.Tozer shows that we will never fully understand God because he is beyond us. However what he has given us in his word is enough to drown us in his awe and majesty.
Let's just say this is one of very few books that I'd fish-slap people in the face with and say "READ THIS BOOK YOU'LL THANK ME LATER." It's an excellent, thoughtful, ardent, reverent look at the character of God and his attributes with the aim that when Christians think about God, they will think about him as he IS, not as they want or wrongly imagine him to be.
An exceptional book that serves as a condensed systematic theology. Very simple and easy-to-read, with brief but deep chapters. Each chapter covers an aspect of God and is continuously pointing to how majestic God truly is. This is not meant to be a "one-stop-shop" for your theology but it's a fantastic starting point for beginning a study.
In this work, Tozer tackles arguably the most important question in lifeWho is God? He correctly ascertains that so as we think about God, so as life goes. And in his attempt to tell what God is like, he succeeds in at least outlining the major characteristics of God as held by classical, orthodox Christianity. Id venture to guess that concepts of Gods unity, simplicity, and being arent being discussed, much less understood, outside of a few seminaries, and most of them Catholic. The format in
This book is amazing and I would recommend it to every Christian our there! Its extremely important to know who our Lord is, and this book covered that so well! It can be a bit of a hard read, but when you figure out what hes saying, you not only feel super smart because you know what hes talking about, but you also learn so much! Its very well written, and a very important read.
