“The Emotions Of God” by David Lamb is a great read for anyone who wonders if God has emotions. According to the Bible – indeed He does! Around 200 pages, some of the topics addressed include:

– Why we don’t want to associate emotions with God.

– Various emotions God expresses in the Bible.

– Detailed study of the emotions God expresses in the Bible.

– How we can express emotions for God’s glory and for the benefit of others.

– How hate is defined and expressed in the Bible.

– Various ways God expresses anger in the Bible.

– Healthy and unhealthy forms of jealousy.

– Examples of weeping in the Bible.

– How Jesus expressed compassion in the Bible.

After reading the book, here’s what I like:

– Pretty easy to read and understand the author’s points and flow from chapter to chapter.

– Covers a wide range of emotions and topics.

– Addresses the pleasant and unpleasant emotions expressed by God in the Bible.

– Very helpful footnotes, bibliography, and scripture index for further study.

– Good clarification of emotions expressed, lest the reader misunderstand God or misinterpret the points made in the book.

Very good read and will be read again. Recommended. I was given a review copy by IVP in exchange for a fair review and appreciate the opportunity.
