With over a million copies sold, Knowing God is one of the most significant Christian books of our time. Celebrating fifty years since its first publication, this anniversary edition invites Christians young and old to return to this spiritual classic - or to experience its wisdom for the first time. Esteemed theologian J. I. Packer offers profound insight into the most significant question of the Christian life: what does it mean to know God? Both thought-provoking and deeply practical, Knowing God diagnoses the spiritual state of the Christian heart and commends the enriching truths of God. 'Dr Packer says we're cruel to ourselves if we try to live in his world without knowing about the God whose world it is and who runs it. I'm convinced we're cruel if we deny ourselves the wisdom contained in this Christian classic.' Rico Tice.
