The Deity Formerly Known as God

"I do not want my image of God, I want God." - C.S. Lewis. Like Lewis, Jarrett Stevens wants to truly know and experience God, not some distorted and destructive image of the Almighty formed over the years. With wry humor and profound insights, Stevens searches to align his broken images of God with the images of God found in the Bible. Attempting to recapture the spirit of J.B. Phillips' classic, Your God Is Too Small, Stevens addresses various assumptions we have about God and sorts through twelve different views of God -- six destructive and six constructive. - Back cover.

Short review: Ok. A slightly different take on how we view God improperly. Pretty short book. About every other page was a graphic or text not related to the main book. It is out of print in paper but available in kindle and audiobook. Over priced for both. I would recommend Imaginary Jesus if you like humor or Good and Beautiful God by James Bryan Smith if you want a more traditional theology/christian living book.
