Book Reviews of Knowing God
Book Review: -*- Best intro to the God of the Bible ever written... -*-
Summary: 5 Stars
--- Knowing God is a classic of the Christian faith. It takes
a believer by the hand and introduces him to the God who
has saved him. This introduction seems as warm as
salvation itself. It also educates the believer in the
basics of the Christian faith. It gives dignity to man by
placing him squarely at the feet of the mighty God with
which he has to do...Book Review: A Book That Keeps on Blessing
Summary: 5 Stars
Time and again J.I. Packer's book, Knowing God, has proven helpful to unfold the truths of Scripture and make theology practical. J.I. Packer presents a solid, thorough, and always refreshing theological framework for knowing our Creator, the One whom we are to glorify and enjoy forever. I never tire of reading and studying this book that deepens, widens, and elevates my understanding of God and His Word. I attempt to read Knowing God yearly. It's my inspiration to delve into Scripture and get to know God. Next to Scripture, Knowing God is the number one book I recommend. It's a book that keeps on blessing!Book Review: A Christian Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must read for all Christians. It discussed the foundation behind real Christianity. This book can be read over and over again, while learning something new each time.Book Review: A Christian Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Packer has written an excellent book that has impacted people world-wide!Among the points Packer covers include:
1. We are cruel to ourselves if we try to live in the world without knowing God.
2. We cannot know God unless He speaks to us. Do not elevate your thoughts of God over what He has said about Himself in the Bible.
3. God had to bring Abraham and Jacob to the end of themselves.
4. The goodness, patience, and discipline of God.
5. While God is love, He is also a God of judgment.
6. Do not be concerned about your rights - let God vindicate you!
7. God will justify and not condemn us through our relationship with Jesus Christ.
Read this great classic and be encouraged!
Book Review: A Christian's theology of God
Summary: 2 Stars
I do not enjoy speaking disparagingly about a book that so many thousands (perhaps millions) of people have found helpful. Because of this, I am glad for Packer's work. Yet my reading experience of Knowing God was, to be candid, painfully boring. I yawned my way through it. If people want a thorough Christian view of God, the Bible is not only more lively reading, but it's the original treatise on the subject.
