Book Reviews of Knowing God Study Guide
Book Review: Catchy Title, Maybe Classic, But Not Profound
Summary: 4 Stars
Packer's book - Knowing God - may be a classic but it is not profound. I believe what it is, is an answer in part to those authentic Christians who have found their lives embroiled and perplexed in the sufferings of Christ. Packer does make several good points in his book that every "true" Christian should be aware of (before sending your money off to some TV evangelist), but while Packer appears to admonish the doctrine of some Christian groups as practiced by many "status quo" or "celebrity churches", his book is more a review of "correct" doctrine than a profound revelation of knowing God face to face as Moses did. And so I regard this book as more of a compact Bible study regarding Packer's view of strictly correct doctrine with a handful of pages that truly "tell it like it is". I believe this book is a good study for the new Christian that truly desires to know God more but ironically Packer, although drawing a strong distinction between knowing God and knowing about God, dedicates most of his book to knowing about doctrine. The new Christian should understand that knowing God is something that happens between you and God, not as a result of necessarily reading this book or practicing strictly correct doctrine.
