At just 121 pages long, this is a book you could read in an afternoon sitting. My only quibble with the book is its brevity. Because there are so many books out there that study the names of God and what they say about His character, Jen’s approach to the character of God stood out as unique. It didn’t feel like a chore or a seminary exercise to read this book, and yet the way she draws on Scripture has great depth. She explains things so clearly and it’s so well-written. I’ve read other books before that discuss comprehensive theology such as this Jen’s is my favorite thus far. There’s so much freedom when we stop trying to be all-knowing or all-sovereign, and when we allow God to be God and worship Him for who He truly is!
