Synopsis

Hungering and thirsting for God’s majesty

As the world becomes ever more impersonal, hectic, and stressful, our hunger grows for the reality of God’s greatness in our lives. We seek moments of personal worship and praise to God...we desire His awesome presence. Now Jerry Bridges, one of this generation’s most influential and personal Christian writers, guides you into God’s throne room for an intensely personal time of worship. You’ll exalt God for...

· His Greatness...beyond measure, beyond compare
· His Holiness...transcendent majesty
· His Wisdom...skill and splendor on display
· His Love...the infinite love of an amazing Father for His child

Along with clear, compelling, biblical teaching on these four aspects of God’s nature, I Exalt You, O God includes a generous scattering of prayers that will guide your heart into reverent praise and thanksgiving. As a result, you’ll come away with a fresh and deeper desire to fall before God’s presence with heartfelt praise for the vastness and the wonder of His greatness, His holiness, His wisdom, and His love.

From Publishers Weekly:

Bridges's Christian classic The Pursuit of Holiness gave readers a place to call home as he recounted a personal journey toward individual holiness. In the inspirational writer's newest work, faithful fans will delightedly discover the inherent wonder of the divine as they spend 30 days contemplating God's unfathomable attributes. In a poignant introduction entitled "He Is Worthy," Bridges skillfully teaches what true worship (both private and corporate) entails. Serious followers, he says, will engage God with a willing thankfulness because of his worthiness and his ownership. The author succinctly explains that worship is a lifelong growing experience and encourages Christians to ask themselves some difficult questions before entering into this holy discipline. Have they relinquished all that they have and are in favor of God? Do they nurture a grateful heart and spend time alone with God daily? Have they held back certain areas of their lives that they recognize are displeasing to God? Lastly, are they wholehearted seekers or counterfeit worshipers? The author offers a month of readings on the themes of God's greatness, holiness, wisdom and love. Bridges is a master at thoughtfully engaging readers through his brief but powerful storytelling, easing his audience into emotion-packed lessons on God's worthiness. Each devotion closes with a selection of carefully selected Psalms. Bridges's inspiring call to worshipful exaltation will touch the hearts of many readers. (Jan.)
