Knowing God

As I browsed through my bookshelves for a book to read to start off the New Year and to live out Phil 4:8, I decided to re-read J.I. Packer's "Knowing God".   I had read this back in college, so it's been awhile; but, I thought it would be good since it fit in with my class Bible study series.

Some of the statements and points from the author that stand out are:

• Going through life without knowing God is like being blind-folded and having no sense of direction.   That's a really good word-picture and reminder of why it is knowing God is such an important pursuit
• We shouldn't seek to know God merely for the knowledge about God, but, more so for knowing God Himself that we may grow in relationship to Him
