"Absolutely excellent. Must read for every christian. Addresses lots of issues that people have with God and misconceptions they have about him. Couldn't put it down!"
"This book could probably be considered a classic. It is relatively short (140 pages) though a lot of good, thought-provoking material, is packed into those pages. I would recommend it to any Christian.
First he deconstructs a number of unreal gods that many people worship: the god who is a policeman, a hangover to our memories of our parents, a kind old man, and more. My favorite here was the "God-in-a-box" where he attacks the idea that many Christians have that God is only working in their own denomination, heritage or community. They might deny it, but many conceive of God as approving their style (say, Baptist or Catholic) and disapproving others (Pentecostal or Reformed). God is so much bigger than that.
The second half of the book is focused on constructing the God who is big enough. To do this, Philippis simply tells the story of the Incarnation, of God becoming flesh, and what this means. At first I found this a bit surprising in its simplicity, but I think that is the point: the big enough God is the one who becomes flesh, like we are, to save us.
Overall, this little book is a good and helpful read."
"Looking forward to reading and discussing in small group at Christ the Cornerstone Lutheran chuch on 5 Tuesdays starting July 8. I am familiar with J.B.Philips paraphased New Testament from the 60s when I was a young man. Looking forward to his insights in this subject of the size of God.
I have adpated the additude and expression that "God is still large and still very much in charge" to help me for balance in diffecult trying times.
