About the Book
Many
people feel both drawn to God and afraid of him. How can they feel
close to a perfect God whom their flawed self is incapable of pleasing?
Fortunately,
God has revealed truths about himself in Scripture that can untangle
our confusion. In this daily guide to studying and praying according to
the attributes of God, Ann Spangler resurrects old-fashioned words like
holiness, omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. Far from boring
us, these words, when excavated for their biblical meaning, paint a
thrilling vision of God that can help us experience spiritual growth in a
deeper way. They can also prevent us from making the colossal mistake
of concluding God is too weak, distant, or uncaring to help us when we
need him.
In the tradition of her bestselling books Praying the Names of God and Women of the Bible, this new daily devotional focuses on one particular attribute each week.
Praying the Attributes of God
will help you see that God is far bigger and far better than you could
ever hope or suspect.
My Thoughts
This is a great devotion book. The author chooses 17 attributes, focusing on one each week. Each week includes five daily devotions that will help readers more fully understand the character of God by learning more about the attributes of God.
Of course, this book is good for personal use and study, but I also think this could be a great option for a small group Bible study or even to use with one or two accountability partners. If you are looking for a devotion book that will draw you into Scripture and help you know God better, check out this book. [4 stars]

I received a free copy of this book from Tyndale House in exchange for my fair and honest review.
