Knowing God Audiobook

" Try to read it every year. "

" In my top 5 of all books of all time. Reading it again for the 3rd time. "

" I think I would have enjoyed this book quite a bit more if I hadn't spent six months reading. Packer carefully goes over the character and attributes of God, seeking to establish a Biblical theology of God amongst Christians whom he feels are often mislead or ignorant. I'm sure he's right, but are those people reading this book? I couldn't help thinking he was kind of preaching to the choir. "

" This is really a very good book. My recommendations. "

" The book had much to be praised and much to be critiqued. The high point of the book is Packer's distinction between knowing God and knowing about God. However, he falls into unfounded conclusions at various points in the book. "

" How great the knowledge and wisdom that God has given this man. I joke that "Packerness is close to Godliness" but in all seriousness, anyone desiring to know about the doctrine of God will be encouraged and built up by this book. "

" I'm in chapter4 and it's something you can't read once... i'd love to read it again because i know i missed a lot. "

" Known as a Christian classic, and there is good reason for such a distinction. "

" This book was pretty good for foundational doctrine but it didn't really make me think about anything new so it wasn't a very exciting read for me. "

" Classic, changed the way I began to think about God. A must read. "

" Good book to read multiple times. "

" Excellent, inspiring, and Im going to re-read it. "

" This is a book that is meant to be read again and again and again. With pen and notebook in hand. And the Bible open alongside it. Great work by Packer. "

" It's been a while since I read this one but it's huge concept is that we should stop trying to know *about* God but instead try to *know* God personally. Beautifully written, this is one the best single books on the character of God ever written. "

" This is a strong book, probably good for new believers as a theological guide or for standard devotional reading. The introduction quotes both Spurgeon and C.S. Lewis, so I knew I'd found a good one. Combats a lot of misconceptions in the modern church. "

" One of my ten "desert island" books. Outside of the Bible, very few books have the impact on my life and thought as has Dr. Packer's classic. Definitely a must read. "

" Good solid theology...with heart. Love the incorporation of hymns, poetry, thoughtful quotes. My favorite quote: "God gives some grace to all, all grace to some." "

" There's a reason why this is referred to as a "classic". No need for me to add to an already exhaustive list of reviews. Just read it! "

" Honestly, I just cannot stick with this one. One of my favorite quotes is from this book, but it's just way too dry for me to even remember what I just read. Apologies, Packer. "

" Common sense convicting helpful reading for the Christian. I just finished reading a chapter a night. Packer has a way with words. "

" One of the best......not to be read quickly but thoughtfully, and over and over again! "

" Probably the best book I've ever read about God. The chapter on adoption in Christ made me weep with joy. "

" Classic read. Highly recommend it. "

" Seemed to be more knowing about God than knowing God, but the one may lead to the other. I liked Tim Stafford's "Knowing the Face of God" better. "

" Classic. Everyone should read this. "

" Overall, I liked the book and found much of very interesting and inspiring. However, since I am not a Calvinist, I found some of the theology difficult to swallow. "

" On my third time through this book. Great summertime devotional study to stay on track. "

" dense. but very good. worth your time. "

" The first significant, sound book of theology I read (I was 19 when I started it). Still excellent. "

" Excellent. A wonderful and fruitful meditation on the character of God. "

" Classic, changed the way I began to think about God. A must read. "

" Detailed, complete and concise. Packard covered most questions asked when people seriously want to know who God is. It is an old book written with wisdom and less fluff. Good solid foundational reading for believers. "

" Known as a Christian classic, and there is good reason for such a distinction. "

" One of the best......not to be read quickly but thoughtfully, and over and over again! "

" good book to read and meditate on every year... "

" A sip of Reformed Theology. Packed in a public way ^_^ "

" This was rich and readable, and not repetitive like so many Christian books are. "
