Absolutely incredible!!! Holy Guacamole! I highly recommend every Christian read this. This book breaks down what fearing the Lord means and how we practically walk that out. The author backs up his opinion with scripture, encouraging you to read and make your interpretation. I'm so thankful I order a physical copy to re-read and take notes. Very impactful!

I read it in one day. It kinda lost me the historical context. It talked about the difference between being afraid of God and fearing God. When you’re afraid of God you draw away from Him because of judgment and when you fear God you draw closer. I liked how he pointed out people nonchalant attitude during service. It was suggested that we have a different type of attitude out of reverence for God. He talked about preaching sermons that might make people feel uncomfortable so they can grow closer to God as opposed to many large charges preaching what people want to hear. God is holy so therefore we respect Him and we demonstrate our respect by obedience with pure motivation. It talked about balancing God’s attributes of love and sovereignty.if we focus too much on His love we could be tempted to believe He’s a pushover or not serious about consequences. We should acknowledge His power also to prevent future judgment. Delayed judgment doesn’t denied judgment. I liked the chapter about friendship with God. Throughout book it says we sometimes treat God as a buddy and fail to recognize His power. Although He’s personable don’t forget He’s holy. It talked about Christianity seems like a club when people join trying to fit in without having a relationship with Christ. Although God is omnipresent He makes His presence known in the natural realm usually during prayer, worship music and church sermons
