An old legend tells of a man who looked so often at a face carved by nature's forces into a mountain, that his own face came to resemble the rocky image, and the ideals attributed to the face in the mountain came to characterize the man himself. Whatever the truth of that story, Scripture makes it clear that, whether for our good or for our destruction, we become like what we worship. For the believer in Jesus Christ, this principle comes with the promised hope of the words: 'And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another' (2 Cor 3:18).
The aim of these 366 one-page readings, drawn from the works of David Gooding, is to deepen our understanding of some of God's characteristics. We see that he is the Triune God of relationships; the living and transcendent Creator; the sovereign Lord who guides our lives; the God of love and grace, loyalty and humility, wisdom and truth; the God of revival and restoration who welcomes us into his grand story; the God of revelation who wants to be known; and the God of joy who changes how we think and live. And as we see him, he transforms us to be like himself, from one degree of glory to another.

David W. Gooding was Professor of Old Testament Greek at Queen's University Belfast and a member of the Royal Irish Academy. He taught the Bible internationally and lectured on both its authenticity and its relevance to philosophy, world religions and daily life.
