Book Description
George Swinnock is one of the easiest Puritan authors to read. He is theological yet his doctrine is expressed in vivid fashion and, while he is practical, his counsel is marked by a keen sensitivity to the doctrines taught in Scripture. Thomas Manton commended his work as coming ‘from one both of a good head and heart.’ In this exposition of Psalm 89:6, which looks at the incomparable being, attributes, works, and word of God, Swinnock is not content to let the truth lie on the surface of the mind. He drives it home to the heart, using powerful arguments, colourful illustrations, and personal applications. His great desire is for the reader to come to know, enjoy and love the incomparable God of the Bible. ‘He who knows God aright is fully satisfied in him; when he once drinks of the “fountain of living waters,” he thirsts no more after other objects.’
‘The holiness and happiness of the rational creature consists in these two: his holiness, in conformity to God; his happiness, in communion with him. And these two have a dependence on each other. They only who are like him, can enjoy him.’

Loved it!! Profound,refreshing, and very easy to read book. Swinnock did an excellent job on presenting the undeniable incomparableness of our great God. Upon finishing it I seriously contemplated reading it straightway again before closing the cover, but decided to save it for a slower and quieter season… since I have other books from the Puritan Paperback Series in the waiting.
Aiden Osbrink –
An absolutely fantastic book. It is drenched and entrenched in the Word of God. This little book has been used by God in not only my life but also in the lives of those around me. Such a high view of who God is in His grandeur is utterly humbling, awe-inspiring, sanctifying, and satisfying. I recommend this book to every Christian I know and I wish I could have a pocket version to take it with me wherever I go!
