The last of the puritan writers Gary Wilkerson shares about, Stephen Charnock wrote a book called Discourses Upon the Existence and Attributes of God. Charnock dives into the character of God, even referencing some you may not hear about in churches today. This book has revolutionized Gary's worship and can do the same for you as well.
There are more Puritan writers Gary Wilkerson highly recommends for your reading: Brooks, Sibbes, Manton, and Owen. These authors share deep theological truths and the good things of God in their books, written hundreds of years ago, that are truths available to you today.
Gary highly recommends another book this week called The Attributes of God by A.W. Tozer. There truly is so much to know about God—more than we can imagine—and this book is a great resource for diving into the nature and essence of God.
Do you want your soul to be satisfied by knowing God? A wonderful book to read is called Knowing God by J.I. Packer. In this theological and intimate book, Packer takes us on a journey that cultivates a spiritual desire to know God and his word.
