Knowing God,
By Robert Nicholson (Port Sydney, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Knowing God (Hardcover)
Greetings;I have known Christ as my Savior for almost 50 yrs and found that this book changed my life leading me to a greater appreciation of our God and his Son Jesus Christ. God is infinite in all his attributes, thus we cannot weight love as being more important than his righteouness. I would challenger any Christian to read this book prayfully and carefully, in combination with this book and his precious Word, God has a blessing for you which will draw you into a closer and personal relationship with God. We read the words of Jesus "And this is life eternal, that they may know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent" (John 17:3) Is it no amazing that the God of the universe desires to know us! Praise his name

Maybe Packer's best book,
By
This review is from: Knowing God (Paperback)
This book you will find Dr. Packer at his finest. The book is written for the average church-goer, but there is much here for the pastor or serious Bible student. Jesus says in John 17:3 that eternal life is knowing the only true God. Well, this book seeks to set out for the reader who that God is and what He is like. Packer, with the skill of an artist and the insight of a trained theologian who truly know his subject puts God's attributes on display for the reader. The Bibical data of God's own self-revelation is laid out for everyone to read and enjoy. One way to evaluate a book, especially in today's profit driven book market, is how many reprints it goes through. Already a Christian classic, his is one that people will be reading for generations to come.

Quench the Word of God,
By
This review is from: Knowing God (Paperback)
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25 AV)Packer refers to the word of God throughout this book. Those who challenge the inerrancy of the Bible will find this work useless. God chose to teach us humans through the word of God. Therefore the Bible is where individuals learn about God. J.I. Packer sets out by differentiating between God and His creatures (man). In what ways man has nothing in common with his creator. Packer at length describes as being self existent, infinite, eternal, unchangeable, omniscient, and omnipresent. After these aspects of God are fully described, Packer continues by clarifying analogies between man and God. These are called perfections. Man can be holy, Man can love, man can show mercy, man can be truthful, man can be good, man can be patient, and man can be just. Packer describes how God is perfect and these aspects about any man is imperfect. The first 137 pages of this book will not offend today's After an explanation of God, man, and sin, Packer teaches the heart of the Gospel. That only those who repent accept Jesus as Savior are heirs of the Father and are adopted sons of God. Only then does discussion turn to the more popular themes: how God is our guide, how the repentant sinner is helped through his trials and the adequacy of God. The width of our knowledge of God is no gauge of the knowledge of God. (pg. 39) Notional correctness (best biblical scholar with presume accuracy) may/may not obtain the closer relationship with God. Packer argues knowing God is a matter of involvement. Prayer - corporate, private and without ceasing. Bible study - corporate, private devotional, and scholarly O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the Early in the book is a discussion about the Trinity
