God, acting independently, spoke creation into existence. He made everything from nothing, and the entirety of creation depends on him for all of eternity. But sometimes we can become so focused on what is \u003cem\u003epractical\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eplausible\u003c\/em\u003e that we lose the childlike wonder to behold the living God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese foundational truths demonstrate God's aseity--his self-existence, complete independence, and eternal nature. As part of the Contemplating God series, this book offers an accessible and engaging exploration of divine aseity. Blending theological depth, readability, and literary creativity, Samuel G. Parkison welcomes readers into the riches of the classical Christian tradition, inviting them to marvel at the wondrous mysteries of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eExplores Divine Aseity: \u003c\/strong\u003e Reflects on God's independent and eternal nature, and invites believers to consider how we participate in his eternal life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePart of the Contemplating God Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e Each book offers an accessible gateway into a specific topic of classical theology, helping laypeople embrace truths from the historic church\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWritten for Lay-Readers: \u003c\/strong\u003e A non-intimidating and thoroughly enjoyable introduction that informs the mind while providing awe, wonder, and wisdom\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLiterary: \u003c\/strong\u003e Inspired by writers like C.
