J. I. Packer's Knowing God has become a classic of the Christian faith. Why? While it gives us information about God with clarity and grace, it does much more---it aids us in actually knowing him, in building our relationship with him, and helps draw us closer to him in love and worship. This 20th anniversary deluxe hardcover edition of Packer's classic has new Americanized text, reader-friendly type, a new preface, and the complete study guide.

Excellent book. The chapters are very well written and very thought provoking. The study guide is a great review and learning tool as well. Extremely highly recommended for anyone who is seeking a deeper relationship with God.

I've owned this book for at least several years and only got around to reading it this past month. My loss. The truths perceptively delivered by Mr. Packer in this book could have profited me these past few years. But all is not lost as my faith and understanding is strengthened for the future by the wisdom in its pages. Mr. Packer pulls no punches and does not let one off with sloppy theology or facile thinking; he meticulously lays out the truth with great persuasion.
This book is not one that is read in a single sitting. It will take time and contemplation to complete it, but the journey is worth the commitment.
