From the psalmist's assertion that no one in heaven or earth is like God, George Swinnock derives his principal doctrine namely, God is incomparable. Throughout The Blessed and Boundless God, he proves his doctrine by demonstrating God's incomparableness in His being, attributes, works, and words. Swinnock is a pastor-theologian who views theology as the means by which we grow in acquaintance with God and, consequently, in godliness. Therefore, he carefully applies his doctrine by demonstrating how God's incomparableness informs, counsels, and comforts us. Listen to this audiobook prayerfully, thoughtfully, and expectantly, keeping in mind Swinnock's simple conviction that when we take the incomparable God as our God, we are incomparably blessed.
I picked this book off the shelf knowing absolutely nothing about the author. I simply chose it as it was a shorter read I could finish before the year’s end.
It was spectacular. Simple concise. Clear. Packed full of scripture and doxological in nature.
Easy enough for a novice on the doctrine of God, but deep and stirring enough for any and all mature Christians.
A beautiful book that is so doctrinally rich, spiritually nourishing, and devotionally empowering.
I found myself not only learning more about God and his essential attributes, but also being convicted by Swinnock’s absolute devotion to the Lord. The work of the Puritans are set apart for their amazing ability to balance doctrinal fortitude and spiritual reflection.
What a delightful listen this was. I am always excited to find good audiobooks like this on Hoopla! I find that my Hoopla has significantly more Christian resources (at least the ones I am looking for) than my Libby app. It’s such a nice bonus that my Hoopla has the Puritan Treasures for Today series available to download. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this, and it was very accessible. I plan to listen to the rest of the series through Hoopla as well as this recording was great quality.
A great, little book on the greatness of God. In forty-five short chapters, George Swinnick gives a comprehensive doctrine of God. This book has been made easily accessible for modern readers.
I highly recommend this book for all Christians who want to grown in their knowledge of God. This book will have you more in awe of God than when you began to read the book.
This little book really is exceptional. Wonderfully edifying, it packs a lot of punch for a truly pocket-size book. Swinnock makes an overwhelming case for the incomparableness of God succinctly and thoroughly. Surely an antidote for spiritual apathy & rote worship, if ever there was one.
A great, devotional look at God's attributes/works and why He should be praised for them. Each chapter, describing one thing about God, is only two or three pages and can be read like a daily devotional.
