![]() ![]() I never found myself listening and thinking all too often, "I already know this". However, this nonexhaustive book covers greater breadth and depth than other books written on the topic. In some degree you may find a bit of redundancy if that is the case for you as well. I have read and listened to many different teachings on the attributes of God. There was nothing about the book I disliked. This audiobook really blends a great reader with a great concept written by a great author. But quite honestly the content of this book is so rich in helping us to think clearly about who God is, what he has done, how we should think about him, and how we should live in a right response to that that I wouldn't mind if the reader of the book had the most annoying voice. I've listened to at least five audiobooks by now and this narrator was the most pleasing to listen to, although I think they all are. The lazy and faint-hearted should be warned about this timeless work - God is magnified, the sinner is humbled, and the saint encouraged. Having rescued us from the individual hunches of our ultra-tolerant theological age, Packer points the listener to the true character of God with his theological competence and compassionate heart. Author Elizabeth Eliot wrote that amid the lofty content, Packer "puts the hay where the sheep can reach it - plainly shows us ordinary folks what it means to know God." What began as a number of consecutive articles angled for "honest, no-nonsense readers who were fed up with facile Christian verbiage" in 1973, Knowing God has become a contemporary classic by creating "small studies out of great subjects."Įach chapter is so specific in focus (covering topics such as the trinity, election, God's wrath, and God's sovereignty), that each succeeding chapter's theology seems to rival the next, until one's mind is so expanded that one's entire view of God has changed. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word. ![]() Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first.
