Sinopsis

How do you write a book about the most wonderful theme in the universe? Dr Ken Chant struggled with that question when he resolved to write about God. But of course, the task is absurd! Can finite words ever explain the infinite? Can something created ever truly comprehend the creator? No! Any human description of God must be deeply inadequate, like someone trying to describe a lovely panorama that can be seen only through a piece of dark and scratchy glass. At best a clear glimpse can be had here and there, while the rest of view remains shadowed and indistinct. Still, something can be seen. And so it is with God. We cannot do better than see a little here and a little there. Our knowledge must remain partial and fragmented (1 Co 13:9). But because we cannot know everything, it does not follow that we cannot know anything! And this book is an attempt to discover what scripture does reveal to us about the great and glorious God we worship. It includes, too, a discussion about the puzzling question of the future - is it wholly known by God, or only partly? The book is not so much a formal treatise as it is a series of wondering meditations, looking at the Lord with awe, love, adoration, and a song of endless praise!
