Book #46: Knowing God by J.I. Packer

Number of pages: 351

This book is all about the concept of having a relationship with God and living as a Christian. It felt mostly like something for people just beginning to look into the Christian faith, but it made some good points, some of which I had never thought of before, such as that if you just have a mental image of God, you are putting a "graven image" before him, and that all hardships you face as a Christian are really intended to strengthen your faith.

The first J.I. Packer book I read felt like quite heavy going, and luckily I found this one more accessible, and easier to follow. I love how J.I. Packer summarises his points by use of various headings and lists of individual points, as well as iterating the purpose of each of the book's chapters.
