This is an amazing book full of scripture! No paragraphs of the authors thoughts, just scriptures to guide you in understanding and praising God for each character trait.

This is a great resource that I will be adding to my yearly devotional repertoire. Using the acrostic ACTS as the model for prayer, Jensen goes through thirty-one attributes of God and helps show how to pray through Scripture. I will say that some of the verses chosen seem a little stretched to me, but the concept is a good one.

Great book for memorizing/attributing Scripture to God's characteristics. Also, it does a good job of teaching the reader how we can pray God's Word and how God's Word reveals to us who God is,why we should be thankful, in what areas lie our sins, and what we need. Wonderful reference book.
