About this title

From the Back Cover:

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
