"Even many Christians find the Trinity confusing, but Delighting in
the Trinity is the clearest and best written explanation I've ever
read."Marvin Olasky, World Magazine, June 29, 2013
"If you have ever felt that the doctrine of the Trinity was a
liability, a burden to be borne patiently, this is the book that
will change your perspective. Michael Reeves's Delighting in the
Trinity presents the triune God as the best thing about the
Christian faith. Convinced that 'the triunity of God is the secret
of his beauty,' Reeves writes from a full heart, with contagious
enthusiasm for the Trinity. Delighting in the Trinity is more
stimulating, quotable and engaging than we usually expect a
theology book to be. Page after page, Reeves finds new ways of
talking, draws surprising connections and reminds us that the God
of the gospel is good news in three persons."Fred Sanders, Biola
University
"Michael Reeves . . . has produced a powerful and concise treatment
of the trinity in Delighting in the Trinity. One of the strengths
of this volume is its practicality and accessiblity. One of the
most exciting aspects of this book is Reeves' skill in helping
readers understand what it means to enjoy God and understand the
doctrine of the trinity to be a demonstration of 'the beauty, the
overflowing kindness, the heart-grabbing loveliness of God.'"R.
Albert Mohler Jr., Preaching, March/April 2013
"Have you ever been mystified by the Trinity? If so, then this book
is for you. . . . This book is an ideal introduction for young
people, for those who want to know more about God . . . and for
pastors who are looking for ways to communicate the faith to
non-specialists. It's basic approach is sound, and it will refresh
the souls of all who read it. Could we ask for more?"Gerald Bray,
Themelios, November 2012
"[T]he book is an easy and pleasurable read with a down-to-earth
articulation of the three-in-one God who loves and invites us into
the deepest parts of his eternal love. Charming in its wit and
winsome in its emotional appeal, it will motivate readers to love
God more deeply and fully. I wish I had this book when I began my
seminary studies. If only there were more theological treatments of
the Trinity (or other Christian doctrines) written like this book,
learning theology, and in a deepersense, knowing and loving God,
would be a delight."John Cheong, Trinity Journal, Spring 2014
". . . summary doesn't do justice to the tight and witty writing
that Reeves provides . . . his style reminds me of C.S.
Lewis."Marvin Olasky, World Magazine, December 1, 2012
"Michael Reeves's Delighting in the Trinity is an enjoyable
introduction to the doctrine of the Trinity. . . . [It's] a great
read. . . . This book would be useful for working with
non-Christians seeking to understand Christianity. It would also
serve the Christian who wants a better understanding of why the
Trinity was not the invention of 'bored monks on rainy
afternoons.'"New Horizons, April 2013
"Delighting in the Trinity overflows with the heart-winning news of
the triune God who is love. Clear, accessible and compelling,
Michael Reeves's new book provides stunning vistas of how the
Father's eternal love for his Son has become unimaginably good news
for us. If your life as a Christian has become at all routine or
you simply wish to be freshly amazed at the transformative love of
the Trinity for you, read Delighting in the Trinity. If you are
like me, you will wantto read it more than once. It's that
spiritually satisfying."Dan Cruver, national director of Together
for Adoption and author of Reclaiming Adoption
"The Trinity is often regarded as an esoteric and intimidating
doctrine, over the heads of rank-and-file Christians. What are
laypeople and students to make of the theologians' unfathomable
utterances about how the Father, Son and Spirit constitute one God?
The answer: Start by reading this book. Michael Reeves unpacks the
significance of the Trinity for Christian life with a
straight-shooting, conversational style honed by years of student
ministry. But don't let the panache fool you. Thereis substance
here that outweighs that of books much harder to understand. Read
this book. Look up all the Bible passages it quotes. Let the Spirit
use it to help you to see the Scriptures—and most of all, to see
God the Trinity—in a new way. I cannot recommend it highly
enough."Donald Fairbairn, Robert E. Cooley Professor of Early
Christianity, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and author of
Life in the Trinity
"It's not often one reads a book on trinitarian theology that is
deeply insightful and wonderfully witty at the same time, but this
is such a volume. Filled with careful thought and wise application,
Reeves provides a most accessible book for those who are trying to
understand what difference it makes that we are trinitarian."Kelly
M. Kapic, Covenant College
