Truth on Fire: Gazing at God Until Your Heart Sings
This is a book that will help the reader to see the importance of both the mind and the emotions in the Christian life. Neither one is to be neglected according to Ramsey. He calls for the reader to be a deep thinker in regards to the things of God so that we will come to enjoy God the more we understand who He is and what He has done for us.
Here are Ramsey’s words at the end of his introduction:
My hope in these pages is to paint a biblical portrait of what God is actually like, so that we can gaze upon him together until our hearts can’t help but sing. To behold him in such a way that our daily experience is transformed with a deepened awareness of who it is we pray to, who it is that is with us, and who it is that we are loved by. To think about our God more deeply, in order to enjoy him more intensely. To let God’s truth set our hearts on fire.
Adam Ramsey
That quote perfectly captures the heart of this book! Following the introduction, Ramsey then goes into twelve chapters that bring the head and heart together, just as they’re supposed to be. He touches on God’s holiness, sovereignty, goodness, love, mercy, justice, happiness, and more. He then, in a devotional tone, helps the reader to rejoice in these glorious truths, and to live passionately in light of them. For that reason, this book is good for all Christians to read! You are sure to grow in your love for the Lord as you consider the truths that Ramsey is highlighting.
I highly recommend this book to you! Tolle lege, take up and read!
