It is a book that serves up real meat-a thought-provoking call to apply ourselves to knowing who God is and to develop a close relationship with Him., If I can't put the Bible on this list, I'll choose a Packer book instead. He convinced us that the study of God 'is the most practical project anyone can engage in.', This is a book that urges us to know about God and then to know God in Jesus Christ. Packer was magisterial in substance, but adopted the tone of a fellow traveler. This guide leads readers into a greater understanding of God while providing advice to gaining a closer relationship with him as a result. Explaining both who God is and how we can relate to him, Packer divides his book into three sections: The first directs our attention to how and why we know God, the second to the attributes of God and the third to the benefits enjoyed by a those who know him intimately.
Written in an engaging and practical tone, this thought-provoking work seeks to transform and enrich the Christian understanding of God. Stemming from Packer's profound theological knowledge, Knowing God brings together two important facets of the Christian faith- knowing about God and also knowing God through the context of a close relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. In 2006, Christianity Today voted this title one of the top 50 books that have shaped evangelicals, and this 20th anniversary edition is updated with Americanized language and spelling, and a new preface by the author. Packer's classic has been an important tool to help Christians around the world discover the wonder, the glory and the joy of knowing God.
