Here are five good books on God I would heartily recommend. None of them is exhaustive, of course, because God Himself is inexhaustible, but each of them has helped refine my view of the true and living Triune God. These five books are “good.” They may or may not be “the best,” but they are all good.
- Your God Is Too Small by J.B. Phillips. Phillips helps us identify some of the false notions about God we may still hold on to.
- Knowing God by J.I. Packer. A classic in the best sense of the word.
- Knowledge of the Holyby A.W. Tozer. Small, but powerful.
- The Attributes of God by A.W. Pink. Ditto.
- The Existence and Attributes of God, by Stephen Charnock. Two volumes written by a Puritan pastor. I dare you to read it. Honestly!
Another good book is Almighty Over All by R.C. Sproul, Jr. The only reason it was not included in the list above – other than the fact that there would be one too many books – is that Sproul deals with the attribute of sovereignty only. Nevertheless, it’s a good and thought-provoking read.
Good books about God are essential as we live our lives Coram Deo (before the face of God). Enjoy!
