I Exalt You, O God : Encountering His Greatness in Your Private Worship

Rating:
Summary: The Prayers Alone Are Worth the Price!
Review: Jerry Bridges, a modern Puritan, has once again done a great service to the church. In contrast to most devotionals, that can be trite, or moralistic - Bridges has put together a 31 day devotional that is God-centered. Each day focuses on an aspect of God's character, and how we should be challenged and/or comforted by that. At the end, he creates prayers of Scripture verses that flow together and are wonderful for making our prayers worshipful and praising God for who He is. If you would like to spend some time praising God and learning about Him during your devotional times, this is the book for you. The Christian life is not about techinques, or formulas (you just pray this and God will do that), but about knowing our awesome, glorious, loving, holy, wonderful and terrible God better, and being changed by growing in our Knowledge of Him through Christ. This book is a step in the right direction if you want to know Him in that way. I only pray that more books like this are written! Thanks Mr. Bridges!
