The title on its own is worth the cost ! Phillips, in effect, is calling for mature faith, which does not limit the Almighty. One could say he is attacking the childish faith of so many - but not the childlike faith, which, paradoxically, helps us to see God in his truegreatness.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Classic, good read for the novice or the 'experienced' Christian16 July 2006
By Cathy Carmack - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book was recommended to me by a couple of folks and once I began reading I understood why: it's simple, pithy and a thoughtful read. I read it slowly so I could ponder each point of interest. I can truly say my God got bigger by the time I finished reading this book. And that's a Good Thing.

5.0 out of 5 starsFor new ideas, read an old book.15 July 2007
By Pilgrim - Published on Amazon.com

Originally published in 1952, this book is as up to date as tomorrow. For many years, I have observed the truth of the statement that we create God in our own image, resulting in an anemic deity no more wise or powerful than we are, and certainly incapable of creation, maintenance, or salvation. Phillips clearly identifies the source of the powerless god that we humans produce when we make the mistake of beginning with ourselves as a paradigm for holiness.

4.0 out of 5 starshard to read, GREAT information26 Nov 2007
By Stacey - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
"Your God Is Too Small" by J.B Phillips is a bit difficult to get through because of the old-fashioned language, but gaining an understanding of the fallacies we choose to believe about God is well worth the effort required to read this book. The key to completion is to read only one concept at a time, and to completely understand the text before moving on. I frequently found my mind drifting, but stopped when I realized what was happening and re-read the passage. Thankfully the "chapters" are short, so re-reading is not too great an effort. And the rewards reaped are worth it - a greater understanding of God.
