From the Editor: This book is justly considered a modern Christian classic. The Lord has used this book to awaken a desire for theological understanding in generations of Christians since it was published. This was true for me, too. I remember exactly where I was sitting when I read the line: “Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life . . . This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.” If not knowing God leads to a wasted life, knowing God leads to a rich, full, and satisfied life. Packer shows us that theology (knowledge of God) changes your life, not simply your head. As a mini-systematic theology, this book is clear, accessible, and worth all of your time. The truths in it led me to love God more.  Stemming from Packer's profound theological knowledge, Knowing God brings together two important facets of the Christian faith-- knowing about God and also knowing God through the context of a close relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. Written in an engaging and practical tone, this thought-provoking work seeks to transform and enrich the Christian understanding of God. Explaining both who God is and how we can relate to him, Packer divides his book into three sections: The first directs our attention to how and why we know God, the second to the attributes of God and the third to the benefits enjoyed by a those who know him intimately. This guide leads readers into a greater understanding of God while providing advice to gaining a closer relationship with him as a result.
