I remember when our pastor made the statement, "This is, in my opinion" the best book ever written, second only to the Holy Bible!" I have to agree! There is so much depth to each page that at times I have to set the book aside and just reflect or meditate on what I've just read about God's character!
This is not light-weight or a fluffy 'feel-good' sort of read but a deep look into the very heart and character of our great God, by analyzing the attributes He demonstrates and reveals about Himself historically in His word and in His unchanging character He continues to demonstrate in our lives today!
A must read for anyone serious about knowing their God on a deeper level! "You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13

A classic
This book should be required reading by every believer in Jesus Christ. It should be taught in churches. I thought I knew God but after reading this book, I realized how little I knew God.

Wording
I found myself having to go to the dictionary too much to understand his meaning. It could have been easier to read. Some authors like to show off their vocabulary - books are made to be read and helpful.
It's a good book but hard to read
