This God we worship is a mysterious, incomprehensible God. His love, His patience, His holiness, His power, His purposes, and His wisdom will forever leave us in a state of astonished wonder. Yet . . . the Bible tells us that we truly can ""taste and see that the Lord is good"" (Psalm 34:8). Draw closer to the Lord your God. How can you go about ""tasting"" God? By stepping beyond your regular times of Bible reading and prayer to thoughtfully, worshipfully meditate on Him. If you want to draw closer to His majesty, you must actually come into His presence. And Close to His Majesty was written to help you do exactly that. Taste God's goodness for yourself through fifteen worshipful meditations on the attributes of God by beloved Bible teacher David Needham--and experience what it really means to draw Close to His Majesty.
Much like Tozer's "Knowledge of the Holy," David Needham's "Close to His Majesty" is more than a dry, academic study of the attributes of God: these are books that inspire worship. Needham's writing style is clear, vivid and full of great word pictures and illustrations that help one to understand not only the nature of God, but how we then can relate to Him. "Close to His Majesty" is written using several one to two page chunks to make up a chapter. Each chunk is perfect for a daily devotional reading. In my case, we have been using a chunk per week to focus our thoughts on God during our Worship Team rehearsals. Just a great book!!

Then this is your book. I am so happy to see it is back in print. I have read this book at least three times. I used it twice in small group studies and it was a big hit. I was fortunate enough to take a theology class from David Needham. Much of this book captures the essence of that course. Needham has a love and longing for God and He has an original way to help us grasp the complexities of God and therefore know Him better. This book had a profound influence on my relationship with God. I encourage anyone to take this journey with Needham and be awakened to all that God is, always has been, and always will be.
