About this audiobook
In The Emotions of God, biblical scholar David Lamb examines seven divine emotions-hate, anger, jealousy, sorrow, joy, compassion, and love-and argues that it is not only good that God is emotional but also that we as his image-bearers can express emotions in such a way that reflects his goodness to the world. With discussion questions and suggestions for application, Lamb challenges listeners to journey with him into a rich study of the stories surrounding God's emotions so that we might better know God and reflect the beauty of emotion to the world.
