Passionate God

Once we understand that God expresses a wide range of passion, we can relate to Him on a more "human" level, as a God with emotions of joy, sympathy, grief, laughter . . . and involved with His beloved creation. Many people envision God as a strict father figure--stern, detached, exacting, and vengeful--lacking feelings and emotions. Yet, once we come to understand that God actually expresses a wide range of passion, we will relate to Him on a much more "human" level and start seeing Him for who He really is. In Passionate God, Kenneth Ulmer helps us understand and appreciate the "humanity" of God as expressed through His emotions: joy, sympathy, grief, care, laughter, jealousy, humor, anger, and, of course, love. This book will change the way people view and relate to God because it reveals a Creator intimately involved with His beloved creation and is more like us than we ever imagined.
