- Strength
- Lifts our view of God with Scripture rooted doctrine and pastoral application.
- Limitation
- It demands slow attention, the style is from another century.
We are reminded that God is not a bigger version of us. He is holy, glorious, and altogether beyond comparison.
We find Swinnock both devotional and doctrinal, pressing us toward reverence that leads to trust and obedience.
Why Should We Read This Resource?
We are helped as the book lifts our view of God. That larger sight reshapes fear, corrects priorities, and steadies prayer.
We also appreciate the pastoral usefulness of its categories. It gives language for worship, and it strengthens counsel when people have shrunk God to fit their circumstances.
We should read it when ministry has made God feel small, or when our churches need a deeper sense of His greatness.
Closing Recommendation
We recommend it as a sturdy, God exalting read that strengthens both pulpit and pew, and that keeps returning to Scripture’s own testimony.
