I originally had this book as a 4 1/2 star book, but as I continue to ponder the book several days after having read it, I am bumping it up to 5 stars. Tozer takes a difficult subject and renders it into language the layman can understand and meditate on. Just a terrific gem of a book. (  ) alcottacre | Oct 8, 2009 |  A powerful and profound work of devotional theology, considering the attributes of God. Tozer argues fervently for the need to see God as He is, and to respond accordingly. He decries the tendency to consider God as being answerable to people, rather than vice versa, and does a very good job of showing something of God's majesty and pre-eminence, all the while reminding us that we can never fully know or comprehend Him. I found the chapters on the self-existence, immutability, justice, love and holiness of God particularly inspiring and thought-provoking, and this is a book that I will return to and meditate upon time and again. ( ) CatyM | Aug 30, 2009 | One of the best books I have read all year. Refreshing. A much needed call to the necessity of a right understanding of God. To many books today try to make us feel good and get us to think alot yet never get us to that gut-wrenching, heart-palpatating, jaw-dropping, bring us to our knees reverence for the majesty of our Almighty God. ( )2  Kerygma | Jun 17, 2009 | Best exposition of the attributes of God I've seen. Written in a devotional tone. (  ) iceT | May 18, 2009 | A terrific read! This little book will deepen your affection for God and strengthen your devotional life. You can't go wrong reading Tozer. ( ) bethritter | May 16, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
