There’s a quiz to take to test our spiritual vision by measuring the amount of energy we have for him, how great our thoughts are about God, our degree of boldness for him and our level of contentment in him. The first few chapters are devoted to uncovering the misconceptions we have about God and evaluating the way we perceive God.
In addition, what you believe God thinks about you determines how close you will grow toward him. What you think about God shapes your whole relationship with him.
He seeks to help others see God scripturally for who He really is and not the God we imagine him to be. Ingram teaches solid biblical truth and brings it home with examples of personal life experience and application for readers. His book The Real God: How He Longs for You to See Him is just what I thought it would be.

And this ultimately self-destructive perspective has thoroughly infiltrated the church as confusion replaces conviction. Popular culture says it’s all about me-that the end justifies the means, that love means self-satisfaction, that status and appearance are what count. We all know something has been lost but don’t know why or where it all leads.
