God's Attributes: Rest for Life's Struggles (The Gospel for Real Life)
“Brad Hambrick . . . [helps] us to both rest in and emulate the marvelous attributes of God. This is a fine study that can be used to transform both heart and mind.†—Gary Thomas, Author, The Glorious Pursuit: Embracing the Virtues of Christ
“A deeply theological, yet practically helpful tool for exploring the attributes of God, helping us see him more clearly and live in proper response. . . . This is a life-changing study.†—J. D. Greear, The Summit Church, Durham, North Carolina
Learn through the Lens of Sin and Suffering
A proper understanding of God is vital. However, many times what we observe from our own experiences (especially when they are difficult and painful) can affect the shape of that understanding. How do we know whether we have a true, balanced view of God?
This study looks at sixteen attributes of God, grouped under the headings of his love, essence, wisdom, and power, to help challenge your understanding. It goes on to challenge how well you rest in each attribute (have faith and comfort in it) and emulate it in the struggles and experiences of your own life. So learn, through your struggles, about the One who gives those struggles meaning.
THE GOSPEL FOR REAL LIFE booklet series by the Association of Biblical Counselors (ABC) applies the timeless hope of Christ to the unique struggles of modern believers.
“The gospel isn’t just an ethereal idea. It’s not a philosophy and it’s not static. It moves and shapes and transforms. I am grateful for ABC’s work of letting the gospel bear its weight on these real life sorrows and pains.†—Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor, The Village Church, Flower Mound, Texas
