Boundlessly Good (Stephen Charnock, in updated English)

Boundlessly Good

God’s Motive for All that He Does

A Modern English edition  of Puritan Stephen Charnock on The Goodness of God

“Because God is great and powerful, He is the object of our understanding, but because He is good and bountiful, He is the object our of love and desire…”

Explore God’s boundless goodness in this refreshed modernization of Puritan Stephen Charnock’s foundational work on the goodness of God.

Taken directly from Charnock’s Discourses upon the Existence and Attributes of God (one of the greatest works ever written on God’s character) and lightly updated to modern English, Boundlessly Good tracks God’s extraordinary goodness toward mankind and all creation: from the sun and rain and vast array of earthly creatures to the greatest heights of redemption. Goodness is chief in God’s virtues, and it is the core motive for all His actions.
