Knowing God: a 20th and 21st Century Classic

October 26, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Does the book, Knowing God, by James I. Packer, deserve the status it has received as being a "classic"?Absolutely!!! You will not for a moment regret reading Packer's reflections on the attributes of God, the work of Christ on the Cross, and the living of the Christian life. Though I have a few quibbles about Packer's criticism of the use of icons and images in worship, his digs at Keswick consecration and surrender teaching, and his skepticism over the Charismatic reliance on hearing God. My concerns are minor compared to the great worth of Packer's thoughts on God in his greatness, the Son in his finished work, and the Holy Spirit in his enabling power. Be ready to grow spiritually as Packer walks you into a deeper and more profound understanding of God's Word. *Knowing God* is a wonderfully written book about God himself-- someone we need to know personally and intimately. I can't believe that it took me twenty-five years to finally take the time to read it.

I know God and I want to know Him more.

September 14, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I bought this book disregarding what others have said about this book, and wanting to find about this book myself. I, now, agree with many, many others who claim this book has changed their lives. I don't think I have ever read a book that just made me stop in the middle of the page and just sob and pray to God.

Being a Christian my whole life and attending Bible studies and summer camps, I have been just knowing about God rather than knowing God. But Packer successfully helped me to know God by revealing how glorious and majestic He is and how He sent His son to die for me in order for me to be adopted into His family. I think my favorite part of this book was his first section (I know the Lord; chapter 1-6), The Majesty of God (chapter 8), God only Wise (Chapter 9), God's Wisdom and Ours (Chapter 10), God the Judge (Chapter 14), The Wrath of God (Chapter 15), Goodness and Severity (Chapter 16), and the last section (If God be for us; chapter 18-22).

I would highly recommend this book to any Christian as Packer unfolds the characters of God but, not only that, he helps you wanting to know God more than when you picked up his book.

Whether you are a new Christian or a long-time follower....

October 12, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I had been introduced to another book by this author, "The Sovernity of God" which I
really liked. This book, "Knowing God" turned out to be very meaningful to me.
Packer speaks directly to the reader asking and answering questions in a very
communicative style. This is a book I will re-read over and over, and I purchased
extras for friends.

After I finished reading it I had an "Aha moment". I recalled writing a letter to my
much older brother whose health was failing fast. We had never been close as
he had estranged himself from the entire family for his entire life. I wrote that I
was sorry that we had not had a relationship, and that I was sorry that I had not
known him better.

And THAT is the message at the center of this book.... that knowing God has to
consist of more than knowledge of His Word, scrliptual verses from the Bible and
following the Ten Commandments. To know God, I learned, is to have a real,
vibrant and personal emotional relationship with Him; one that requires love,
trust, obedience, discipline, forgiveness, guidance, respect, honor and glory!
A real relationship.

I also really like how Packer descri bes and explains what it means to "be a
child of God", what it means to be adopted into God's family, to call Him
Father and Jesus Christ brother.

Whether you are a long-time follower or a new born-again Christian I think
this will be a valuable book that will expand your understanding and
appreciation of how precious your relationship with God is.

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I agree with R. C. Sproul: “Few writings deserve to be called 'Christian classics' but this is surely one of them. With the heart of a pastor, the understanding of a theologian and the passion of a prophet, J. I. Packer brings the reader face to face with the living God.”

Expand your knowledge about God - The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit.

July 4, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a great discussion about God. It makes you think about aspects of Christianity you might not have paid attention to. And, then there are things that you need clarification about. Jack Nicklaus was supposed to have started each tour season retraining starting with the grip. He wanted to be sure he didn't pick up any bad habits. It is good to "relearn" about Christ periodically to be sure we haven't fallen into a misunderstanding. Rereading the Bible is paramount, but books like Knowing God are also great opportunities to recheck what we think we know.
