A hundred years from now only a handful of books written today will still be widely read and accepted as Christian classics. Dr. James I. Packer's Knowing God may well prove to be one of them. A gifted theologian and writer, Dr. Packer has the rare ability to deal with profound and basic spiritual truths in a practical and highly readable way. This book will help every reader grasp in a fuller way one of the Bible's greatest truths: that we can know God personally because God wants us to know him. -- Billy Graham The books and essays Dr. Packer has written could fill shelves, but he is still known best for his fine work in Knowing God. Others may have followed with books about desiring, loving, serving, or seeking God, but Dr. Packer's volume says it simply, says it best. -- Joni Eareckson Tada Here is a theologian who puts the hay where the sheep can reach it?plainly shows us ordinary folks what it means to know God. -- Elisabeth Elliot [Packer's] style is succinct, vivid, and epigrammatic. His perspective is mind stretching, as he surveys the whole biblical scene. And the truth he handles fires the heart. At least it fired mine and compelled me to turn aside to worship and to pray. -- John R. W. Stott Knowing God is a masterpiece by a master theologian. It serves as a wake-up call for those who are asleep to the majesty of God. -- R. C. Sproul
