Words From the Wise

To know God is to love him, and to love him is to have our hearts thrilled by him.

– Tim Challies

The quote above is perhaps my favorite sentence that Tim Challies has ever penned.

Sit with his thought for a moment.

Now ask yourself this: Is my heart thrilled?

***

In Understanding and Trusting Our Great God, the second book in the Words from the Wise devotional series authored by Tim Challies, we are treated to rich quotes, stretching our understanding of and love for God. The book’s design is exquisite, drawing the reader to ponder words from sources such as Jonathan Edwards, John Piper, John Flavel, Jen Wilkin, A. W. Tozer, Joni Eareckson Tada, John MacArthur, A. W. Pink, Matthew Henry, and more.

Opposite each quote, you will discover a theologically rich devotional, exploring the stunning ways in which God is wise, powerful, holy, just, good, and true.

I have been reading this book several times throughout my day, and as I do, my heart sings over the wonders of God. Tim Challies’ writing is biblical, robust, and lovely. In fact, Understanding and Trusting Our Great God is every bit as good as the first book in the series.

Both add a rich layer atop my daily Bible reading, sending me deeper into the pages of Scripture. They are beautifully written and full of sound doctrine, which is the highest endorsement I may give.
