The Attributes of God, Volume 1 with Study Guide

God's Infinitude, Immensity, Goodness, Justice, Mercy, Grace, Omnipresence, Immanence, Holiness, Perfection all answer, what is God like? For A.W. Tozer, there is no question more important. In fact, Tozer's desire to know God and His fullness consumed his entire life and ministry. Originally preached as sermons at Southside Alliance Church in Chicago, this first volume of The Attributes of God examines ten attributes of God. A study guide has been added for an in depth look at each attribute. This all important book deals with the most important subject matter of God's traits. We should esteem Him stricken, smitten and afflicted, yet see Him as our Creator and King in awe, wonder, and fear with righteousness and amazement. How can we even be allowed to have a glimpse of His beauty, compassion, and grace? Tozer's book is an inspiring journey into the Father's revelation of Himself. In this first of two books on the subject, the author invites us to look more deeply into God's grace, mercy, justice, holiness and goodness, among other things. Each chapter is centered around appropriate Scripture and enables the reader to refocus on the essential character of God. Aiden Wilson Tozer (1897-1963) began his "pursuit of God" at the age of 17. With no formal Bible training, Tozer became pastor of Southside Alliance in Chicago in 1928. He was pastor there for thirty years. He was also the editor of Alliance Weekly. Many of his articles and sermons have been compiled and published as books.

The Holiness of God

R.C. Sproul takes a look at the meaning of holiness and why people are both fascinated and terrified by a holy God. "The Holiness of God" is a profound, moving investigation of the character of God which defines all we are and do as Christians.

Concise Systematic Theology

Are you looking to explore Christian Reformed theology, but you don't know where to start? Start with&nbsp;Concise Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Christian Belief. This book condenses Professor John Frame's biblical theology- nearly 10,000 pages and many years of study- into an accessible book discussing God, the gospel, church, and Christian living in a warm, conversational tone. This book includes additional features to help you develop a biblical framework while studying, including:

The Water and the Blood

Modern day culture says we create our own identities and determine how we want to express them, but this way can lead to confusion and anxiety. In&nbsp;The Water and the Blood, Kevin P. Emmert discusses how Jesus used sacraments of the gospel- water, bread, and wine- to communicate to Christians and unite them to the body of Christ.&nbsp;Emmert explores how Jesus explained Christian identity by revealing both who God is and who we are. This book teaches believers to embrace their identities built by Christ as baptized and communing persons.

Short Studies, The Atonement: An Introduction

Christian theology and the atonement go hand in hand, they are necessary for following Jesus Christ. In this book, The Atonement: An Introduction by pastor Jeremy Treat, he explains how the death of Christ is a multi-faceted job within the story of God. Within these accessible pages, you will be able to see how the gospel is applied to various areas such as ethics, followers, and communities. This is part of the short studies systematic theology series and lets us see what the atonement means in when it comes to our daily living.&nbsp;

The Preeminent Christ

In The Preeminent Christ, Paul Washer declares the unmatched significance of the good news of Jesus Christ. Compelled by a desire for men to know God’s love, Washer draws from the church’s greatest theologians to herald Christ’s centrality in revelation, salvation, sanctification, study, proclamation, and glory. This book will stimulate readers to forsake their tendency to view worldly “needs” as central by zealously seeking this Christ in the gospel.

Redeeming Science: A God-Centered Approach

Many people think science is antagonistic to Christian belief. Science shows that the universe is billions of years old, while the Bible says it is only thousands of years old. Some claim that science shows supernatural miracles are impossible. These and other points cause some Christians to view science as a threat to their beliefs. 
 
Redeeming Science&nbsp;attempts to get readers to appreciate science. Science can serve as a path for praising God and serving fellow human beings. Through examining the wonderfully complex and immutable laws of nature, author Vern Poythress explains that we ought to recognize the wisdom, care, and beauty of God. A Christian worldview restores a true response to science, where we praise the God who created nature and cares for it.

Redeeming Reason: A God-Centered Approach

Humans use reasoning to understand and order the world around us. We apply this logic in a variety of ways. How should our identity as Christians―made in the image of God (Gen. 1:26–27) with minds renewed by the Holy Spirit (Rom. 12:1–2)―inform our reasoning?

Justification: An Introduction

It is often challenging to understand how sinners can stand before a holy God, but the gospel gives hope―justification that comes through Jesus Christ. This doctrine is essential to the gospel but has sparked countless academic and theological disagreements throughout church history, even contributing to the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century.&nbsp;
