This an enjoyable short study on the various pictures of God we see in scripture. Laniak provides a good deal of scripture and will cause you to think more deeply about God without the technical, scholarly jargon. Some of the images will be more familiar, some may be new, and others are a little stretched. I used this as a starting point for a Bible class entitled "Portraits of God" and added half a dozen more. My only real complaint is that the book is not longer.
