I started reading Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer, already I am convicted and encouraged by the book.  It's been a while since I've picked up a theology book.  After I looked to see how many pages were in the book, I read the preface where he states that he wrote a short theology book because modern day Christians don't take time to read the classics.  As a mother, this book has been incredibly encouraging to me.  I often find myself at a loss for words for describing God to my children.  Tozer states that is because we can not describe Him in human terms.  We do our best, but basically God is beyond complete description.  In particular, the trinity is a difficult concept to describe.  I love Tozer's prayer, "When we consider the fearful mystery of Thy Triune Godhead we lay our hand upon our mouth.  Before that burning bush we ask not to understand, but only that we may fitly adore Thee, One God in Persons Three. Amen."  Worship, not complete understanding is our calling.  Our attempt to fully explain God stems from our low view of Him.  "The low view of God entertained almost universally among Christians is the cause of a hundred lesser evils everywhere among us...The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him...We do the greatest service to the next generation of Christians by passing on to them undimmed and undiminished that noble concept of God which we received from our Hebrew and Christian fathers of generations past.  This will prove of greatest value to them than anything that art or science can devise."  This is my challenge as a mother, to prayerfully provide my kids with a high and exalted view of God.
