Synopsis

Your God is too small.We like God small. We prefer a God who is safe, domesticated, who thinks like we think, likes what we like, and whom we can manage, predict, and control. A small God is convenient. Practical. Manageable.The truth: God is big. Bigger than big. Bigger than all the words we use to say big.Ironically, many today seem turned off by the concept of an awesome, terrifyingly great God. We assume that a God you would need to fear is guilty of some kind of fault. For us, thinking of God as so infinitely greater and wiser than we are and who would cause us to tremble in his presence is a leftover relic from an oppressive, archaic view of religion.But what if this small version of God we’ve created is holding us back from the greatest experience of our lives—from genuine, confident, world-transforming faith?In Not God Enough, J. D. reveals how to discover a God who is big enough to handle your questions, doubts, and fears;is not silent;is worthy of worship;wants to take you from boring to bold in your faith;has a purpose and mission for you on earth; andis pursuing you right now.God is not just a slightly better, slightly smarter version of you. God is infinite and glorious, and an encounter with him won’t just change the way you think about your faith. It’ll change your entire life.

Goodreads review by Rod on August 04, 2023

While I was thinking about whether to give this book 4 or 5 stars, a few things went through my mind. The author quoted a couple that I didn't like. He didn't emphasize a couple of things that I thought he should. But then I thought, Innis, wake up this is a truly great book. By the way, he quoted ma......more

Goodreads review by C.H. on March 23, 2024

J. D. Greer has written an excellent book that brings the reader nose-to-nose with the promises and power of God. Written with wry humor, Greer makes the point that God is willing to do far more prayer-answering and life-changing than the average believer seems to believe. He is urging that Christia......more

Goodreads review by Leah on July 22, 2019

If there is one thing I’d want you to read from this book, it’d be this excerpt below. “Rhonda, a girl in her mid twenties, grew up in New England and was about as unfamiliar with the Christian message as any American I’d ever met. So I started with the basics - who God is and why Jesus came. She as......more

Goodreads review by Blake on April 06, 2018

Not technically a theology book, yet it presents many things about the greatness of God. The author encourages us to live and pray in light of the reality of a big God. The book is practical and the author uses illustrations effectively throughout the book. Highly recommended!......more
