Both thought-provoking and deeply practical, Knowing God diagnoses the spiritual state of the Christian heart and commends the enriching truths of God.'Dr Packer says we're cruel to ourselves if we try to live in his world without knowing about the God whose world it is and who runs it. I'm convinced we're cruel if we deny ourselves the wisdom contained in this Christian classic.' Rico Ticea spiritual classic John Stott
