God Is:

God Is

A Devotional Guide to the Attributes of God

by Mark Jones Crossway Books 6/30/2017

Do you want to grow spiritually?  Is your desire to mature in your Christian faith and life?  Well, then, your consistent time in private worship (daily devotions) is essential.  Are you soaking in the truth of God’s Word, meditating on Who the Lord is and what He has done, praying in adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication, and walking day by day in close communion with Jesus?  Sometimes we get into a rut with our devotional helps; we’re so used to one thing or another that it no longer stretches our soul and mind and heart!  If you would like to know God better, I’d like to recommend a book that was given to me recently and which I had the opportunity to begin over vacation:  God Is: A Devotional Guide to the Attributes of God by Mark Jones.  I especially like the format where every chapter includes a beginning section on the doctrine which is followed by a section which focuses on that particular attribute with reference to Jesus Christ; finally, there is a very beneficial section on how that attribute of God applies to our everyday lives as believers.  While you will find yourself having to stop and really think throughout, it is well worthwhile!  May you be blessed as we praise our Lord, the One True and Living God. –David Milligan, Pastor of Loch Raven Presbyterian, Parkville, MD.
