Synopsis

Every believer has a need for an understanding of systematic theology, but very few theology books present material in a personal, devotional format that appeals to th most popular level of believers. Dr. Thrasher manages to communicate the most academic biblical truth with the heart and personal connection of a pastor, achieving a depth of knowledge at an extremely approachable level. It's the astute wisdom of a professor packaged in the comfortable relatability of a friend.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Do not stop merely at studying God - you are invited to know Him.

Praise for God As He Wants You to Know Him.

"Bill Thrasher has not only provided a masterful portrait of the living God, but he has also made this important area of doctrine immensely practical."

J. Paul Nyquist, president, Moody Bible Institute

"For many, the word theology conjures up images of a dull and dusty lecture. This book shatters that mold. Bill shares fresh insight into the character of God that is true to the Bible and presented in a readable, winsome way."

Charlie Dyer, professor, Moody Bible Institute, host of The Land and the Book

"After years of teaching students about God, Dr. Bill Thrasher has written, in a very readable style, a book that develops and explains the attributes of God and shows the reader how to enjoy intimate fellowship with God."

Paul Enns, author of TheMoody Handbook of Theology

"In the great tradition of J.I. Packer and D. Broughton Knox, Bill Thrasher eloquently and lovingly teaches us how to know and serve the one living and merciful God. Thrasher's emphasis on God is much needed in an age that too often makes human beings the center of the universe."

Paul House, professor, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University

"If you want to break out of a ritualistic, ineffective prayer life, you need to pick up this book, read it intently, and take it personally. It is your concept of God that will set you free!"

Joseph Stowell, president, Cornerstone University
