- Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2024Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseIf you are looking for a meaningful devotional book for someone that they will actually read, I recommend Tim Challies' Understanding & Trusting Our Great God.
The content is wonderful, focusing on the character of God as expressed in his attributes of wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth. The format is easy to read and digest - a compelling picture and quote followed by Challies' devotional thoughts and commentary. The quotes range from ancient to modern, from preachers, authors, songwriters and poets.
This would make a great devotional book for couples to read together as well as for graduates or really anyone who wants to draw closer to God by focusing on his precious attributes. Highly recommended!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2023Format: HardcoverWho is God, and is he good? In Understanding & Trusting Our Great God, Tim Challies will help you know and love God more.
The second entry in his Words from the Wise series, this devotional book features quotes from some of Christianity’s most influential voices. Jules Koblun’s graphic design is delightful, fixed against inspiring imagery. Paired with Challies’ spiritual insights, the book is beautiful and an engaging experience.
Who God Is
The book is divided into seven chapters, each looking at a different aspect of God: (1) God Is, (2) God is Wise, (3) God is Powerful, (4) God is Holy, (5) God is Just, (6) God is Good, and (7) God is True. You will walk away with a bigger picture of God, with greater confidence in his character.
Reading the quotes caused me to marvel at how much truth could be contained in a single sentence. It made me thankful for the faithful pastors, teachers, and leaders who use their words to point us to God. I was challenged to be bold when it comes to communicating what we believe.
Know Him Personally
Challies’ words are also filled with wisdom. Sometimes he explains the quotes, while other times he expands on them. He brings in Scripture, and you can sense that Challies doesn’t just know God theoretically — but personally. This book will help you do the same.
Understanding & Trusting Our Great God is a beautiful devotional book that will lead you to think deeply and clearly about God.
I received a media copy of Understanding & Trusting Our Great God and this is my honest review.

Gus QuadriziusReviewed in Canada on September 3, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Love reading it
Format: HardcoverVerified PurchaseGreat book, love reading it. It focuses on themes of God and each page is complete in itself. You can have it on your end table and read for a few minutes and be enriched. It is all about our Great God and handles the themes very well and very biblically.
