Introduction
Now on to the questions!
1-There are multitudes of reasons to Study God's attributes one I think that is most pround is that we need to know who God is to really know our own value and worth, which is of naught in comparison to the infinty that God is valuable and worthy!
- Tozer claims that if we study the Attributes of God "we will develope our faith" I will have to disagree with this! For apart from God we have no such Faith it is a gift given! by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is \the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8) But I see Tozer's point, by studying God's attributes He can grow and strengthen our faith!
2- Knowing God's attributes will take Him out of the little box we tend to put Him in and take Him out of when we need Him, and give Him His true place of Honor and Glory so we might better honor and Glorify Him
3- Honestly I am excited to dicuss each and every one of our Lord's Attributes, but particularly His Sovereignty, Because I am just amazed each and everyday by His workings! Though I know He does not cause us to sin, He knows each and everyone of the areas we fall short before we realize it!! From time to time He even allows us to fall into a particular pattern of sin to grow and strenthen us and to show us His glory so that we might give Him honor and praise!! Through all of our short comings that He knew we would have He still chose us from the Foundation of the world!!!
Ladies I am so thankful our Glorious Lord has given us this time together to pray for eachother, to fellowship with one another, (though oceans and many miles seperate) the Lord has brought us to this place to learn more about Him for us to strenthen and encourage one another through His word! I pray that we can all learn and grow from this! We serve a great and wonderful God!
May this bring Him all Honor and glory!

How did I guess that Tiffany would be "johnny on the spot" and have this done immediately! LOL Thanks for sharing Tiff. In the first book, there were times when I also found myself disagreeing with Tozer but after much diliberation, I always saw the point he was trying to make. All in all, I think it usually comes down to word choice. It seems one little word in a statement would throw me into defense mode. God actually used that book to make me less defensive. Anyway, I am so glad that you posted and I am planning on getting mine up here later tonight.
