"I don't often endorse a book this way, but I will for Knowing God . If there is one book that every single Christian should read alongside the Bible, it is this book. Filled with theological beauty that lives where we all live, this book will cause you to love your Lord more earnestly, to worship him more deeply, and to serve him more joyfully. This book is so rich, you shouldn't read it just once, but over and over again."--Paul David Tripp,author, New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional "Jesus Christ taught that eternal life is knowing God (John 17:3). This book by J. I. Packer helps us to do just that.
Short chapters (originally magazine articles) are arranged to draw us to study more closely various aspects of God's nature and character. What could be more edifying? Over the last fifty years, I have found countless people who have been informed, encouraged, and brought to worship by the pages of this book. I know I have been, and pray that you will be, too."--Mark Dever,Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, DC "There are very few books that communicate such glorious truth--and communicate it as succinctly and as well--as Knowing God . Through Packer's penetrating mind and gifted pen, the majesty of God and the wonder of the gospel shine through on every page. Easily one of the most influential books of the last half century."--Kevin DeYoung,Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina; Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte " Knowing God is one of the best books I have ever read. And J.
I. Packer is one of the best thinkers I have ever known. If a great book combines a great topic with a great writer, then Knowing God is truly great. So much in our world today is second-rate, but this book is a treasure we can enjoy deeply--and because of it, know God better!"--Ray Ortlund, President, Renewal Ministries.
