The timeless appeal of this classic book, written by a preacher with a worldwide ministry during the first half of the twentieth century, demonstrates the deep hunger for a saving knowledge of God present in each generation.

1. The Solitariness of God  2. The Decrees of God  3. The Knowledge of God  4. The Foreknowledge of God  5. The Supremacy of God  6. The Sovereignty of God  7. The Immutability of God  8. The Holiness of God  9. The Power of God  10. The Faithfulness of God  11. The Goodness of God  12. The Patience of God  13. The Grace of God  14. The Mercy of God  15. The Love of God  16.

"Each chapter of this classic work abounds with a high view of God that elevates the soul. Here is a brief, but profound study of the many attributes of God’s perfect character. Each page is not only doctrinal study, but devotional encounter for the reader. Here is a treasure house of God-centered, God-exalting truths that transforms our worship, walk, and witness. This is Pink at his best." –Steven Lawson
