"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 "A hundred years from now only a handful of books written today will still be widely read and accepted as Christian classics.

And J. I. Packer is one of the best thinkers I have ever known. If a great book combines a great topic with a great writer, then Knowing God is truly great. So much in our world today is second-rate, but this book is a treasure we can enjoy deeply―and because of it, know God better!" -- Ray Ortlund, president of Renewal Ministries "I don't often endorse a book this way, but I will for Knowing God . If there is one book that every single Christian should read alongside the Bible, it is this book.

This book is so rich, you shouldn't read it just once but over and over again." -- Paul David Tripp, author of New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional "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 "To read Knowing God is to experience the reality of God, not simply the reality of J.

I know I have been and pray that you will be too." -- Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church " Knowing God is must reading for any Christian who is serious about their faith. While it is theology, it is practical, and while it is profound, it is easy reading. I highly recommend it." -- John Perkins "There are very few books that communicate such glorious truth―and communicate it as succinctly and as well―as Knowing God .
