12 Things God Can't Do: ...and How They Can Help You Sleep at Night

“Oh, what glories we discover not just in our God’s abilities but even in his perfect ‘cannots’. Enough indeed to help us know true safety—and sleep soundly. I pray that God will be pleased to expand and deepen and strengthen your vision of him in his precious cannots, and also draw dazzlingly close to you in love when you see what further excellencies he added in Christ.”

“12 Things God Can't Do is a wonderful example of why theology matters, why orthodox theology matters, and why having gifted theological teachers matters. The weightiness of content that we so desperately need to nourish us, sustain us, and, yes, help us sleep(!) is balanced by Nick’s lightness of touch and pastoral sensitivity. The result is theological exposition that is both relevant and richly affective. Highly recommended.”

“Finally, a book that prides itself on putting you to sleep! 12 Things God Can't Do is deeply peace-bringing and faith-building. Nick Tucker has an extraordinary gift for making profound truths about the nature of God accessible for ordinary people. This book will give you a greater understanding of the God of the universe and leave you captivated afresh by his perfect character. I wholeheartedly commend it to you.”

“This is a beautiful book that simultaneously blows your mind and warms your heart! Each chapter creatively and biblically reveals something awesome about God, exploring the Creator/creature distinction to draw the reader into a greater understanding of his character and nature. This book will change you—how you live and how you love. With the turn of each page, your trust in God will grow, and your love for him will increase as you gaze upon his majesty.”

“12 Things God Can't Do fed my soul and blessed my heart in more ways than I could have imagined. By focusing our minds on the very things God can’t do, Nick Tucker shows how Scripture speaks to reassure us and to renew a living faith. God really is not like us, and because of that, we find rest for our souls and even more reason to rejoice in our Maker. I can’t think of a believer who would not be hugely rewarded by a careful reading of this excellent book.”

“This beguiling book is more important than its modest size would suggest and has a TARDIS-like quality. The whimsical title will draw you into what becomes a much bigger, more encompassing and more significant journey. It offers a reliable and engaging crash course in apologetics, but then takes you on a breathtaking tour of the doctrines of God, of Jesus and of our humanity, and grips these vital truths in a fascinating theological/historical/philosophical framework. It is a book that improves its readers by not simply teaching us how to think properly but showing how thinking properly about God is foundational to understanding our own identity and how to serve, love and enjoy the one for whom we were made. Everyone should read this.”

“This book is an astonishing achievement. One of the most daunting subjects for the Christian is understanding something of the nature of the triune God. Christians throughout the ages have wrestled with questions like: Does God know everything, and, if so, what does that do to free will? Can God change his mind? Does God suffer? Nick Tucker tackles twelve of the most complex questions people have asked about God and addresses them in a way that is biblically faithful and informed by the best minds in Christian tradition. Rich in theological truths and brimming with helpful illustrations, this is a book that I will recommend to anyone wanting to know God more deeply. I only wish this book had been in print when I was younger!”

“I strongly commend this work. We need books on the great teachings of the Bible in an accessible format. Dr Tucker gives us an introduction to Christian beliefs about God which is engaging, clear and applied. I hope that it is widely used in churches.”
