by Jonathan Griffiths (Author)
Our constant danger is that we have a view of God that is too small.
We are living in a me-focused, treat-yourself world--a world that oppressively encourages us to focus on ourselves. But a life turned inward--rather than focused on God--brings peril and confusion. When we fail to know God properly, we become selfish and hopeless. But a renewed understanding of who God is changes that.
Pastor Jonathan Griffiths shows us how God Alone can transform us at a root level. With pastoral warmth and heart, Griffiths shows us the character of God in all His beauty and goodness. Readers will gain knowledge of God's attributes--that He is eternal, all-knowing, and all-wise. Readers discover what it means that God is omnipotent, unchanging, and omnipresent. And through this knowledge, trust, hope, and joy emerge. Confidence grows when we have a robust understanding of God's love.
This book is both a plea for the people of God to know Him intimately and, at the same time, an invitation to those who do not yet know Him--come and experience the wonderful, beautiful, powerful God revealed in Scripture.
