The Attributes of God Volume 1 with Study Guide: A Journey Into the Father's Heart Paperback – February 14, 2007

If you need a book that will leave you mesmerized… this is the one!

Excellent read

This book completely changed the way I understand the Word of God when I read the bible now. Love it.

I have just started reading this book. It is nicely bound in paperback. It arrived in good condition.

Are you a Christian reader ? If yiu are and especially if your not anything from Pastor Tozer is a must read .

A Tozer classic created from a compilation of sermons gathered from tapes recorded in Tozer's church, Southside Alliance in Chicago. The "Attributes" is skillfully presented by David Fessenden in a form fitting of Tozer, capturing both the cantor and practical theology of Tozer. Fessenden includes a practical study guide for each attribute which coincides with each chapter. The study guide adds to the personal utility of a subject that is very elusive due to God's immensity. Fessenden enables the reader to stop and ponder , in group or singularly, the implications of seeing God as He is and letting Him be the "great I AM" attribute by attribute.Volume 1 of "the Attributes of God" does not include an introduction which is included in volume 2. This is unfortunate for readers not familiar with Tozer who could benefit from Tozer's explanation of his impetuous to write and preach. Tozer explains in the introduction of Volume 2 the dilemma of the church in reducing God to a barely elevated, if not equal, plane as man. He explains how this limited concept interferes with worship and awe of the Creator. He describes the danger of this thinking both for the individual and for the Church as the Body of Christ. Tozer states "We put our spiritual life on a budget". His description of the skewed version of God prepares the reader to enter into a heavenly definition which he presents as the attributes of the "I AM".Without introduction, Volume 1, propels the reader into the first of ten attributes, Infinitude. Immensity, Goodness, Justice, Mercy, Grace, Omnipresence, Immanence, Holiness and Perfection follow. Suprisingly, Tozer introduces the reader to mystics such as Julian of Norwich . The references seem less unexpected as the reader is propelled heavenward to glimpse each attribute. As each attribute shines a piece of God's fullness, the reader is set in awe at heart. The discovery of the Creator's height and breadth and depth will have the reader identify more with the Christian mystic who merely bends in awe of the Creator.This book will pull the non-Christian into a humble stance before a holy God. However, it mainly should be read by the every believing Christian. It should be used as refreshment for the dry and faithless and a conditioning work for the settled and fat. It is remarkably powerful for both.

Helpful for supplemental reading if studying the attributes of God. The material is basically a transcript of Tozer's sermons on the subject. Interesting and have some helpful pointers, but more sermonic than academic. Enjoyable read with some good insights. Adds nothing new to the study of the attributes of God and I would not recommend as one's first study source on the subject. Easy to read and probably beneficial on a devotional level. I say the same thing for volume 2.

We studied both books in our Sunday School class. Good books by Tozer.
