Ryken and LeFebvre have written a brief and helpful book on a complex topic. It is biblical and practical. They do not attempt to convey the historical dialogue or the heresies surrounding the doctrine, but instead take a practical approach for those who already know the doctrine and agree with it. What are the implications of the Trinity for my salvation and walk? What about the fact that I can't get my mind around the concept of the Trinity? How does knowing the God who is three in one affect my worship? The final chapter, The Joyous Trinity, coveres times in the gospel of Luke where all three persons of the Trinity act together, which I've not seen focused on before.
They point out in their introduction that they are writing for the individual believer, and that they could easily write another volume on the affect on the corporate Church of the fact of the Trinity.
I read most of this on a plane trip, and finished it up right before leaving for vacation, on 11/16/12. I will hang onto it and will likely read it again and recommend it to people.
