The Knowledge of the Holy
by A. W. Tozer
The attributes of God, one short chapter each (self-existence, eternity, infinitude, immutability, omniscience, wisdom, omnipotence, transcendence, justice, mercy, grace, love, holiness, sovereignty), opening with the line that what comes into your mind when you think about God is the most important thing about you.

Three things you will actually use
- What you think of God is the most important thing about you.
- Low views of God are the cause of a hundred lesser evils.
- Attributes are not parts; God is whole.
Do this first

Our verdict
The attributes, compactly.
