 Discover the key to enjoying God in every moment of every day

 We believe in God, we serve God, we trust God, but would we say that we enjoy God on a day to day basis? What exactly does a personal relationship with God look like, and how is it even possible?

 This seminal work by Tim Chester shows us how we can enjoy God in every moment of every day, whether we are experiencing good times or hard times; whether we are changing diapers, or stuck on a train. He explores how the Father, the Son and the Spirit relate to us in our day-to-day lives, and how to respond.

 As we interact more with God and understand how awesome he is, we will experience joy in our service, our witness, our sacrifices and our suffering.

"Enjoying God" by Tim Chester explores daily experiences of God's love and presence. It examines the Trinity's relationship with believers, enhancing personal faith and joy.

Under the hood

Afterword

Tim Chester's books are always unusually accessible. He can distill great amounts of complex theological truth into short, digestible chapters. In this book, he brings this skill to bear on the subject of communion with God—perhaps the greatest privilege of a Christian. But it is one little understood, and even less is it actually enjoyed. I urge you to read this volume. It will make you hunger and thirst for fellowship with God. - Timothy Keller (Pastor Emeritus, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Manhattan; author, The Reason for God)

Winsome in its unpacking of theology and compelling in the sweep of its applications, "Enjoying God" is neither an essay on the Trinity nor a "how to" manual, but something close to both. It is among the best of the rising number of books that instruct Christians on how to cross the bridge from enjoying God on the Lord's Day to enjoying God every day. Tim Chester is in no danger of making God little more than a useful utility to increase our pleasure; he is far too God-centred and gospel-centred for that. But if we desire to experience for ourselves a little more (one of Tim's favourite words) of the truth that in God's presence there are pleasures forever more, we shall be hard-pressed to find a better guide. - D.A. Carson (Research Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, and President of The Gospel Coalition)

We talk a lot about knowing and glorifying God, but what about enjoying him? And not just as an abstract Being, but as the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit—enjoying each Person in all of his difference as well as divine unity? And not just in happy times or at church, but in every circumstance of life? It just keeps getting better and better as you turn each page of "Enjoying God". This book will lift you into the presence of the Source of all joy. - Michael Horton (Westminster Seminary, California)

From the authors of Scripture onwards, the Lord's people have always known that the purpose of life is "to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever". But each generation, in fact every Christian, needs to discover this anew. And the way is not an easy one. But it is the only path worth taking. In "Enjoying God", Tim Chester shares his own experiences in walking along this gospel road and issues a warm invitation to join him. Accept it, and, with Tim Chester as your guide, you will never regret it. - Sinclair B Ferguson (Chancellor's Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary)

The best books are biblical, practical, personal, pastoral, and worshipful. "Enjoying God" is one of those rare books that excels in each area. I commend it highly. - Jason Meyer (Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church)

I absolutely loved this book. It has been a huge blessing, like cool refreshing water for my soul. I frequently found myself identifying with the sin, struggles and faulty thinking Tim Chester so vividly describes in various scenarios and illustrations, which also helped me see how my view of our triune God is often so flattened and limited. My heart was softened and warmed as Tim held up all that the Father, Son and Spirit have done, and continue to do, to enable us to truly experience and enjoy an intimate relationship with God and know his daily goodness, grace and love in the messy reality of our daily lives. I finished the book marvelling at our glorious God, feeling humbled, excited, encouraged and spurred on. - Andrea Trevenna (Associate Minister for Women, St Nicholas, Sevenoaks, UK; author of The Heart of Singleness)

Rich in the gospel and superb in practical application, this touching book is straight up fuel for joy. Here is wisdom that should brighten your every day with sheer enjoyment of God. - Michael Reeves (President and Professor of Theology, Union School of Theology)

"Enjoying God" is gourmet food for the weary soul. Tim Chester shows us how we can really, expansively, and truly enjoy our communion with God—not by any weird spiritual techniques but by drilling down into our oneness with him. As we understand the three Persons of God more richly, we are invited into a more vivid and real experience of him. This is profound truth in simple and engaging writing. - Michael Jensen (Rector, St. Mark's Darling Point, Sydney; author of Is Forgiveness Really Free? and My God, My God)

I'm so often reassuring myself and others that feelings aren't a good sign of my spiritual state that I forget to seek and enjoy communion with God. This book reminded me of all sorts of ways in which the Lord is offering me himself to enjoy. - Agnes Brough (Associate Minister for Young People and Women, The Tron Church, Glasgow; Chair of the Scottish Women's Bible Convention)

The author brings his rich understanding of Scripture with his own personal experience, wisdom from other theologians and wonderful imagery to explain theological concepts in a very clear way. This book is beautifully written, practical and gospel-centred – I recommend it to anyone who would love to go deeper in their relationship with God and to enjoy Him each day! - Ruth Clemence

I was sent this book to review by the wonderful folk at The Good Book Company, who have published some great stuff recently, and a friend there suggested that I might enjoy Chester's Enjoying God. Having loved Tim's recent books including the brilliant Who On Earth is the Holy Spirit? and his contributions to thinks like Keswick's Captivated, I was excited to read this book. Gladly, I can report that I found this book to be good for a number of reasons. - Thomas Creedy

Bringing more of God into everyday life, Tim Chester's new book explores how each part of the Trinity is vital to how we live.
