The Attributes of God Vol. 2: A Journey Into the Father's Heart
Attributes of God • Book 2
by A.W. Tozer
Why You'll Love This
Tozer writes about God's nature with the urgency of someone who believes most Christians have settled for far too small a vision of who they're worshipping.
- Great if you want: theological depth that moves the heart, not just the mind
- The experience: slow, meditative, devotional — built for reflection, not speed
- The writing: Tozer's prose is preacher-cadenced: direct, piercing, and quotable
- Skip if: you prefer academic theology over pastoral, sermonic writing
About This Book
In an age when faith can easily drift into routine or abstraction, A.W. Tozer invites readers into something far more demanding and far more rewarding: an honest, sustained encounter with who God actually is. This second volume in his exploration of divine attributes examines qualities like God's self-existence, transcendence, omnipotence, immutability, and love — not as theological checkboxes but as living realities that should reshape how a person prays, thinks, and lives. Tozer's underlying conviction is that a shallow understanding of God produces a shallow faith, and that the remedy is not more religious activity but deeper, clearer sight.
What distinguishes this book as a reading experience is Tozer's voice — prophetic without being harsh, devotional without being sentimental. These chapters originated as sermons, and that heritage shows: the prose moves with urgency and rhythm, building arguments that feel less like lectures and more like appeals. Each attribute is explored with theological precision and pastoral warmth in equal measure, making dense ideas genuinely accessible. Readers will find themselves pausing not to take notes but to simply sit with what they've just read.
