Now please do not lose sight of the purpose of this book. I am pleading with you here to take upon yourself the task of making these realities about God a part of your mind, to understand that God is a certain kind of being; that he existed before the creation of the earth in all his plenitude. God is not now sitting off in some distant corner of the universe like a neglected senior citizen in the cosmos, waiting to see if someone will pay any attention to him. He is surrounded by unlimited glorious beings that he made, who worship him and praise him.
