I Am: The Unveiling of God is a breath of fresh air in the devotional literature market. Taken from true stories, these forty honest, wonderfully crafted insights will allow the reader to gaze upon the inexpressible beauty of God while discovering a personal connection to a God who desires to be our all in all. Each essay in turn explores a different facet of God and how it plays into our relationship with Him. Bite-sized chapters end with a candid prayer followed by questions to spur further meditation on an attribute of God. I Am is a rare gem that deserves to be on every reader's bookshelf.
Love this book! I enjoyed the questions at the end of every chapter and the encouragement to draw near to the Lord and find His peace.
"Only when we set aside our fears, resentments, and even fatigue and strive to know him and seek him simply for the wonder of who he is - not to get answers, or meet our needs, or receive strength - will we suddenly find our fears, anger, and weariness subsumed by the deluge of joy that comes from discovering God."
I highly recommend this book if you are struggling to draw near.
A simple devotion book, based mainly on the attributes of God. (I would say there are a handful of better books on God's attributes, if you are looking for one I would go with: Knowing God, The Pleasures of God or The Attributes of God.)
2 stars. After owning this book for several years and attempting to read it over the course of a year and a half, I decided to leave it unfinished and pass it along. I found it shallow, with too many anecdotes and well-worn stories.
