Book Review: Knowing God

Last week I finished reading (for the second time) Knowing God by J.I Packer.

This work presents God to an increasingly godless populace as one introduces a good friend to someone who does not know him. It should be in the library of every believer.

No mere textbook for theological eggheads, Knowing God makes you think about your understanding of God, your relationship with him, and the effect that relationship should have on your life.

More than once in the reading of this book I found myself convicted of creeping idolatry, spiritual complacency, and apathy.

God used this book to make himself more real to me. I would encourage you to read it and let him do the same for you.

This is going to be required reading for my students next year.

This and other books worth reading can be obtained by visiting our Amazon Store.
