Often beautiful and poetic...

as Tozer rhapsodizes about the qualities of the divine. Some of the material here has appeared in other volumes--either that, or Tozer had a tendency to use a lot of the same examples and metaphors repeatedly--but most of it is worth hearing again. The one flaw in Tozer is that sometimes he can fall into circular logic, especially when he appeals to the intellect to understand the limits of the intellect in comprehending the attributes of God.

Soul Growth

What did you love best about Attributes of God, Volume 1?

I loved the call to remember just who God is. I think we have lost some of the reverence of God in our superficial culture.

Have you listened to any of Michael Kramer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I am not sure if I have listened to Michael Kramer before, but he was spot on - pacing was just right. Great recording.

Get to know God

These attributes of God made me want to know God more as they will anyone who listens to this book. It also made me realize just what has been lost in the church in just the last 50 years.

CRISP AND CLEAR VIEW OF GOD

I love tozer, he not a money preacher, never owned a car, read shakespeare on his knees. And his books were not written to entertain but to inform. And he does a great job. This is the first of two books that explains some of God's attributes. And answer the big question what is like? Highly recommended.

Deeply impactful. I was spiritually broken...

More Christians need to call out other Christians like this. Tozer holds no punches in explaining our current Church in America as lukewarm at best. And we know from Revalation what Christ will do with the lukewarm Church. Neither hot nor cold...

A simple yet rapturous exposition of our Lord Jesus

Mr Tozer has struck again with this passionate and sometimes “in your face” message. He has honed a what was an already uncanny, sharp pencil: and with this work, turned it int a razor sharp scalpel. The maturity of his literary style has reached a new zenith with this book. He succeeds in casting a wide net using prose, examples, analogy, and timeless common sense. With books such as this (I grant that there are few at this caliber), no professor of Christianity may claim ignorance.

Revealing

Tozer did a moderate thorough job of describing the attributes of God using scripture. Characterizing God is a massive feat. I had very high expectations. I could tell Tozer's traditional background colored his viewpoint. I launched into the book hoping to further understand and exhibit the character of God; however, I simply feel more incompetent. I guess that in itself is a revelation.

How all theology should be!

Tozer communicates solid evangelical theology on the attributes of God in a compelling, thoughts provoking way. Rather than speaking to the mind, he writes to the heart, through the mind. His presentation of theology brings you to the place of worship. He stretches your soul as well as your mind. This is what all theology should be--intellectually stimulating but leaving you before the throne of God!

Not for the fainthearted

I have listened to this on numerous occasions and it never fails to nourish my soul. Tozer is like a targeted laser beam that hits it's mark with absolute precision. There are the occasional blips in his use of terminology and phraseology that might cause minor offence, but he is a man of his time and as such is less subject to our politically correct sensibilities... but this should not put you off. The book is broken up under different headings including God's Imminence, Holiness, Goodness. He talks about the loss of our ability to perceive the majesty of God. There is so much to challenge our comfortable versions of Christianity and as such if you want an easy listen this is not for you, but if you are searching for the things that are deeper then I would suggest that you will find much to meditate and ponder upon.
I have the physical books that benefit from a study guide at the back which for obvious reasons are not present in this audible title.
A word about the narrator: he reads well, intonation is at an acceptable level, my husband doesn't care for his voice, but this is purely subjective.
I do recommend this title along with book 2 which I am now going to revisit. Some titles are only good for one listen.. not so this, it is likely you would revisit again and again.

Fabulous

A wonderful book in so many ways, and an absolutely magnificent narration by Michael Kramer.

thought provoking

I foumd it better to listen when not doing much else, multitasking was difficult due to the tone of the speaker. Thought provoking concepts discussed.
