That sounds interesting. Who did the reading, family or church? I think the book was written nun who had the visions, Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda, 1602-1666. I am not quite sure what to make of books from visions. I'm not knocking it, I just like reads that are more historical, more philosophical in nature.
What we gleam from understanding God should be food for thought, a guide post, a positive influence in our life. Those attributes of God (being Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnibenevolent) are qualities that should influence us. If God is benevolent, shouldn't we act benevolent? If God is Merciful, shouldn't we not be merciful too? If God is omniscient, shouldn't we learn as much as possible and use our knowledge for good?
