I have been listening to Chip Ingram for a long time on his radio show and have always been drawn to his profound yet practical approach to preaching and teaching the Gospal. So it was a great delight to find this book, and I must say I was completly floored by the depth yet simplicity of this book as it explored the true charecteristics of God and what that means to us as his creation. Chip outlines the characteristics of God and splashes practical vibrant insight into how these characteristics, when properly looked at and applied, can radically change your life. Trust me when I say that you will never look at God or his relationship with you in the same light again after reading this book. For example many of us believe that if we submit to God, he will make us do things we don't want to do! Rubbish?? God gave us all the ultimate gift--His Son--so why would he start being stingy now?? Get this book and discover God the way he wants you to discover him!!
Chip Ingram really challenged me with his latest book, "God: As He Longs for You to See Him." Standing on the shoulders of the late/great A.W. Tozer's work, The Knowledge of the Holy, Chip conveys in contemporary language the unique attributes of God. In the words of Tozer: "What comes to our minds when we think about God is themost important thing about us." This book caused me to stand still amidst the many urgent distractions of this world to really think about God. I came to realize that God truly does long to reveal all of himself to me, and to help me become all he designed me to be.
In Chip Ingram's God as He Longs for You to See Him, readers are invited to join Chip on a personal journey where the attributes of God are contemplated, moving them from head knowledge to heart knowledge. A pastor for twenty plus years, Chip shares his trials and triumphs with winsome and genuine words. There is no illusion of Chip as super-Christian in this book, it is delightfully honest and readers of all ages and stages can relate to the simple yet powerful truths which transformed Chip's life. The book consists of ten chapters, seven of which are devoted to the attributes of God. The chapters are loaded with probing questions about your deepest beliefs. The attributes chapters include: "Tools for Transformation," key passages and scriptures to focus on for the coming week; a prayer to contemplate; as well as a personal insight into Chip's life which draws the reader into an intimate communication with the author as friend. Drawing from the Word of God, A.W. Tozer's Knowledge of the Holy, and J.I. Packer's Knowing God, Chip presents solid, intelligent arguments about who God is, and how He longs to be seen. Quoting Dr. Charles Ryrie, Chip's former professor, readers are challenged throughout the book to determine if in fact they really do, as they may profess, trust God. In the appendix is a "Vision Test" which aids the reader in determining their trust/view of God. The meat of Chip's message is provided in substantial pieces for readers to really chew on. Some books are difficult to get through because they are wearisome, not this one, I was challenged and inspired by it and did not want it to end. This book is a sound investment for any reader. Buy two copies and study it with a friend. This book would be an excellent Bible study with life changing results. If you only buy one book this year, let it be this one.

This is one of the most influential books I have ever read. I recommend it to everyone, especially to anyone who struggles with their concept of God and how He sees us. Simply wonderful!
We all have times of doubt about who God is and if His character is consistent with who He claims to be. Chip Ingram brings the one true God, the God Almighty, before you and gives you a clear understanding of who God is and why He is Lord of All. Chip Ingram is one of my favorite authors, there is no question he is led completely by the Holy Spirit and his style of writing is so personal that you are moved from the moment you begin reading his books. This book is no different from his others in that they are powerful, inspirational, and filled with a message straight from God. You will find yourself face to face with God throughout this book and you are sure to draw even nearer to Him. I would highly recommend this as well to anyone who is questioning their beliefs in God, a friend or relative who does not know God, or someone just struggling in life who needs to know God is with them. I HIGHLY recommend, "God As He Longs for You to See Him!"
This book has given me a much deeper insight to God's character.Very much unlike ours.I would highly recommend this book to anyone.I bought several to give to members of my family.
yes! yes ! yes! this book is so awesome! i am like halfway and i got it earlier this week...and ive been learning so much. this book is one of those books that you need in ur collection. it's great because it has alot of scripture and its straightfroward in everyday language. Chip ingram breaks down the character of God sooo well. and it truly refreshes you. so that while i read this on my break and then later throughout my workday i could easily remember God is Soverign...he can work all things out. Etc etc. This book of course is not a subsititue for the BIble. The Word of GOd will and is ALWAYS neede dbut i is a great book to read. WHether you are a new or old believer it will give you a correct perspective of God. And then as you delve into the Pages of Scripture you start digging and looking at God's character the right way, marvelling at it. This book can be good for all but can be especially good for people who are new believers who havent read much sctipture or even people who have been in the church since they were a kid but have a distorted view of God. That was me...and this has been so inspiring. I would also recommend the JI Packer knowing God and AW towzer knowledge of GOd. chip was heavily influenced by those 2 books and u can tell. i decided to read this book after my friend who i saw such a change in her life and such a passion for God recommended me that tozer book but i couldnt find it so i got this instead. im still going to read the others but this is so important to have a knowledge of God. if youve ever wondered why you cant just be "Religious" or legalistic with "rules" and never understood the importance of a relationship with God this book explains. It also shows u how to get a knowledge of God and gives you a little gas in your car. ALl I can say is "yes" just buy it! u won't regreat =D
