The Existence and Attributes of God

The knowledge of God is indispensable for every person in every place and at all times. The world is full of distractions that demand our attention, and amidst countless temptations to waste time on things that are of little benefit. Daniel Chamberlin offers us a glimpse of the beauty of God by clearly and simply tracing His attributes and the undeniable proofs of His existence. The book begins with the existence of God, then, after tracing the definition of atheism and its implications, it explains what it means for God to be Spirit and what this implies for worship. Finally, the author addresses the attributes of God: His eternity, immutability, omnipresence, knowledge, wisdom, power, holiness, goodness, dominion, and patience. Each chapter consists of both teaching and practical application and is structured in a way that will be useful for personal and group study.

"There is nothing more fundamental to Christianity than the doctrine of God. In Systematic Theology, this is referred to as proper theology. It is where all truth begins. Knowing the God of truth gives purpose and meaning to all of life. This is why, in the whole body of knowledge to which man can aspire, there is nothing more basic and crucial than the knowledge of God. Despite this, God is not content for men to know that He exists; He desires that we know Him and trust Him in a living and personal way.

... Very few people have truly delved into the depths of Stephen Charnock's original work on which this book is based. Therefore, we are indebted to Pastor Daniel Chamberlin who invested years in an exhaustive reading of Charnock's work to condense it into a small volume whose practical value is immense. It is a good gift for the believer beginning Christian life, but it also has its place beside the dying saint who meditates on the God he will soon behold. Ministers of the Gospel can use it in their private meditations, and parents who wish to teach their children about the knowledge of God can use it in family worship" Martin Hoffman, pastor of Providence Baptist Church in Lecanto, Florida
