Pastor’s November Book Selection

One Holy Passion: The Consuming Thirst to Know God by R. C. Sproul

Over the years as a Christian and a pastor, I have come to the conclusion that the greatest remedy for the feelings of depression and despair, for our worries, for the habitual sins that simply seem to hang on to us, and for many of the other spiritual and emotional afflictions that weigh us down is … to dwell upon, and develop a passion, for the incomprehensible God of Scripture. While such an undertaking may seem paradoxical R.C. Sproul helps us to do just that in his marvelous book, “One Holy Passion”.
Beginning with his own thirst to know God, he takes the reader on a journey through the attributes of God that force us to think deeply about our Maker. The author encourages us

  • to consider those aspects of God that set him apart from all other creatures
  • to understand that this God has revealed himself to us in Jesus Christ
  • to know that he loves us,
  • to recognize that he has redeemed us as his own. Contemplating these ideas will help us to grow in a holy passion that lifts our souls and inspires us to pursue our Father above all else.

I cannot suggest a work on the attributes of God more than “One Holy Passion”. I encourage us all to read this book so as to develop a consuming thirst to know God.
