Pastor and author J. D. Greear reveals that the secret to a robust, passionate faith isn't getting all the right answers about God, but seeing God as the awesome, glorious, and infinite presence that He is.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. 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 fearsis not silentis worthy of worshipwants to take you from boring to bold in your faithhas a purpose and mission for you on earthis pursuing you right nowThe truth: God is big. Bigger than big. Bigger than all the words we use to say big. Only a God of infinite power, wisdom, and majesty can answer our deepest questions and meet our deepest longings.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.

In Not God Enough, J.D. Greear explains that the thing between you and the vibrant faith you want isn’t answers to all our spiritual questions, but an escape from the small God we’ve imagined in place of an actual encounter with the real, awesome, glorious God of the Bible.
