Lord, Open the Heavens! A Heart-Cry for Revival...

Encountering the Attributes of God Makes a Difference in How We Relate to Him Too often, we make God too small, too manageable. But careful examination of God's attributes reveals a God full of mystery, eternity, righteousness, and mercy. In "A Great and Terrible Love," Mark Galli thoughtfully delivers unexpected glimpses into fifteen classic attributes of God, exposing cheap substitutes and delivering a fresh vision of God. "The book you hold now is a part of the longest and most important conversation held by the human race: What is God like?"--from the foreword by John Ortberg "This is a very, very rare book. It did what few books I read do to me today--moved me closer to God and deeper in my walk and understanding of who he is."--Bob Roberts Jr., senior pastor, NorthWood Church; founder Glocal.net; author, "Glocalization," "Transformation," and "The Multiplying Church" "Any individual or group who works through these meditations on God will find them full of nourishment."--J. I. Packer, professor of theology, Regent College "Thought-provoking and profoundly challenging. In these pages I rediscovered the sovereign and merciful God who is our one and only hope."--Carolyn Arends, recording artist; author, "Wrestling With Angels" "Galli is helping us trade in our safe, wishful thinking of God for the one really worth knowing and worshiping."--Ted Olsen, managing editor, News & Online Journalism, "Christianity Today" Mark Galli is senior managing editor of "Christianity Today." A former Presbyterian minister, he is the author, coauthor, or editor of several books, including "Jesus Mean and Wild," "Beyond Smells and Bells," and "Francis of Assisi and His World."
