This was so good and made me think about things I hadn't for years.
I read it through a second time b/c I needed to think slower and deeper about some of it. I'm so grateful I did. I recommend this for anyone longing to grasp how awesome our God truly is! Took the time to wrestle with the questions at the end of each chapter and will even share some with my writer's group tonight.

Excellent book
This book makes knowing what it means to fear the Lord understandable and why it is critical to our pursuing Christlikness.
