Amazed

In Amazed, Carolyn Lacey leads you through 30 days of growing in awe of God.

The Glory of God

This eye-opening devotional book consists of six sections with five chapters each—His glory (holiness), His power (protection), His creation (design), His uniqueness (incomparable), His greatness (rule), and His kindness (mercy).

I was most interested to notice how Ezekiel 1:22–28 struggles to find adequate words to describe the glory of God. It made me thankful for the words God gives us to tell us about himself and to tell others about him.

Protection, Compassion, and Kindness

I was especially moved by the section on God’s protection—that He is my stronghold (Psalm 27:1). He is shelter, safety, and security—a far better protection than my own ability to defend myself or talk myself out of trouble.

I was also deeply touched by the explanations of God’s compassion and kindness shown in Christ. I saw my sin, and how small I am compared to God, yet He moves toward me.

God Becomes Bigger

This book is rich with biblical texts and beautiful truths. Reading this book reminded me that there is always more to see of God. God became bigger to me after reading it. And it made me hungry to see more of him every day.
