This book briefly explores six of God’s attributes:
- God’s Graciousness
- God’s Sovereignty
- God’s Goodness and Power
- God’s Holiness
- God’s Love
- God’s Salvation
Most of MacArthur’s works go into great detail about the particular subject of the book or message. This time, however, MacArthur attempts to briefly cover several of God’s attributes to help the reader understand more about God. True to MacArthur’s style he takes Scripture and explains it without twisting it to fit our society today.
Personally, I found that this book did not hold my interest. To me, it was too much, too fast. I know MacArthur has written books about all of these attributes of God and I would rather read an entire book that thoroughly explains that attribute rather than just touching the surface.
I also think that a new believer might lose interest in this book as well. Again, to me, MacArthur moves too fast in this book without giving the reader enough time to really understand that characteristic of God. This book is only 123 pages and MacArthur could easily write that much about a small portion of Scripture.
Overall, this is certainly not MacArthur’s best work and I think most people can safely skip it and instead read some of his other books.
