“The Greatest Treasure, isn’t a book one reads once and then gives it to a friend or a used book store. This is a book to keep in one’s library, visiting it often when God seems distant and you feel empty. It will remind you about what you already knew, but so easily forget. This book is a book that will revolutionize your prayer life and your walk with Christ. I’m going to read it often and tell everyone I know about it. After you read it, you’ll do the same thing.”
— Steve Brown, Author, President of Key Life Ministries (www.keylife.org)
“In The Greatest Treasure, Pastor Mike Conan invites readers on a journey into the heart of God by thoughtfully examining His attributes through both Scripture and personal experience. Each chapter reveals not only the majesty and depth of God’s character but also how encountering Him transforms our daily lives in meaningful and lasting ways. What makes this book especially impactful is the unmistakable love Pastor Mike has for both his Lord and his flock. His pastoral heart and theological insight come together to create a work that is both accessible and profound. The Greatest Treasure is more than a book—it’s a guide to deeper intimacy with the living God.”
— Tom Herron, M.D.
“The Greatest Treasure is a simple yet powerful read that draws you into a deeper understanding of who God is. It asks an important question: How can you truly know someone if you don’t spend time with them? This book invites you to slow down, reflect, and really consider God’s character and His love for us. What I love about it is how accessible it is. It’s great for personal reading, but also a strong fit for discipleship, men’s or women’s groups, or even teens. It’s not just informative—it gently challenges you to look at things through a deeper lens. This is a resource I plan to give away to friends.”
— Bobby Hughes, Lead Pastor, Harvest Church
“Mike has taken a little-talked-about and often-misunderstood biblical parable and given it rich definition through the lens of God’s attributes. A bonus for readers is the piercing personal questions he weaves throughout the book, inviting deep reflection and transformation. An insightful and inspirational read.” ”
— Judy K., Elder, Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church
“Mike Conan gave me a gift with The Greatest Treasure. I’ll be buying copies for friends who are spiritually curious and I’ll be buying copies for friends who have followed God for years. Mike writes in an easy, engaging style that draws me in, and I find myself not only enjoying the current page, but also longing for the next. The Greatest Treasure is a friend telling me about the most important person in his life, who I also know, but I’ve forgotten some of the great aspects about this person. Chapter after chapter kindled my joy in God and longing for him. I love it and can’t wait to share it.””
— Glenn Lucke, President, Docent Group

“I’ve been using this material with Mike to minister and make disciples. Together, we’ve led men’s retreats centered on the content of this book, each weekend focusing on a single characteristic of God. I’ve had the privilege of watching men grow in their understanding of who God is—and leave those weekends deeply transformed. When we slow down and truly rest in God’s character, something supernatural takes place. I’ve seen it firsthand. I’m excited to see how God will continue using this book to change lives far beyond my own circle—one heart at a time.” ”
— Nick Pugh

“The Greatest Treasure is a book I didn’t just like—I loved it! I’ve been searching for a tool like this for my congregation for a long time. At first, I found myself wondering if Mike Conan had chosen the right attributes of God. But by the end, I was drawn to know Him more and to dive deeper into His love. This is a truly usable resource—for church congregations, small groups, or even family devotions. It’s written in an engaging, digestible style that invites people in and points them upward. I highly commend Mike for this work and look forward to spreading the joy of God through The Greatest Treasure.”
— Jamaal Cox, Lead Pastor, New Salem Church
“The Greatest Treasure is wonderful—not only solid in doctrine, but also a timely reminder of what truly matters: drawing near to God. It reminded me of the church at Ephesus in Revelation. Though strong in doctrine, they had left their first love. The Lord calls them to remember and repent. In these days, the church must do the same—remember our First Love, our Treasure: knowing and loving God, understanding His true nature. Jeremiah 29:13 says, ‘You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.’ It is my prayer that this excellent work will encourage others to seek His face. As a side note, I’ll be using The Greatest Treasure in the weekly courses I teach. Well done.”
— Tom DeJonge, Surfside Fellowship
“The Greatest Treasure is more than a helpful book—it’s a meaningful guide that gently leads you into deeper relationship with God. As I read, I found my faith refreshed and my heart drawn closer to the Lord.

— Jean Kesterson
“The Greatest Treasure is a clearly a work of pastoral love. Mike brings a lifetime of biblical study and preaching to this exploration of the character of God in ways that bring needed clarity, correction, and practical application. This is a book that is not afraid to address hard questions for those exploring the Christian faith, and at the same time offers encouragement to those who have walking with God for some time. Great for a new members class or a small group. ”
— Rev. Dr. Jackson Clelland, Senior Pastor/Head of Staff, Presbyterian Church of the Master
“The Greatest Treasure is a wonderfully accessible source of wisdom and inspiration. Mike’s warm, engaging style makes it tempting to rush through from start to finish. However, it’s well worth your time to slow down and savor each chapter, as they are lavishly adorned with scripture, quotes, and study questions for life application. ”
— Troy Messer, Elder, Calvary Chapel
“Take a joyful and thoughtful ride through the key traits of God and how they can impact our lives! The Greatest Treasure reveals the foundational truths of the universe in a way that’s accessible to nonbelievers and new believers, while also offering a powerful and inspiring reminder to those who have walked with God for decades. Relatable examples and rich biblical references make this a trustworthy and engaging read.”
— Jim Greetham, Elder, Waypoint Church
“As the world gets crazier, The Greatest Treasure is the perfect book to calm the soul and help us hear God’s truth. Mike does a great job of explaining seven of the many attributes of God, and one of my favorite chapters is on God’s holiness. This is a book for anyone who wants to experience God’s love in a deeper way. I don’t believe this is a one-and-done read—it belongs in your go-to arsenal of spiritual resources. I especially love the verses to ponder and the questions at the end of each chapter, which help you dig deeper in thought and prayer. I’ll be returning to this book often.” ”
