I Am That I Am - Henry Martens - Bog

"Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee."
St. Augustine, The Confessions
Deeply personal reflections on twenty-six attributes of God anchor I Am That I Am: The Ultimate Reality Self-Revealed to the important questions that most of us have at some time in our lives:
¿ Is there some reality beyond the physical world?
¿ Who or what is God?
¿ Who am I and what is the purpose of my life?
With the belief that the Bible is a self-revelation of God's will, power, and mind, Henry Martens probes God's character, commenting on each featured attribute, explaining their significance, and offering a sense of God's awesome presence and the potential for relationship that his people have with him. As Martens sees it, these revelations deserve an individual and personal response, and his reply, in a short series of five letters, is provided in the second part of the book. Part three contains a short letter, an expression of gratitude to God, a tribute to God's goodness, and a reminder to both author and reader that we can trust God's promises to calm our restless spirits.
Written out of his passion to care for all creation, including people, Martens has produced a thought-provoking book, encouraging readers to take a closer look at God and to ask themselves how they might relate to and with him. Martens shares his personal experience and belief in God's existence, power, and love. I Am That I Am offers hope, rooted in the author's relationship with God, for all those who search for meaning in their lives.
