'Knowing God' by J.I. Packer

You read it? I'm digging it, for sure. What are you reading right now? What's it teaching you? Non fiction/fiction? Would you recommend it to me?

Some thoughts on 'Knowing God':
- We can know God! Seriously, this never gets old
- Having sound doctrine matters (Matt Chandler and Packer would get along great)
- The Trinity is incredibly complex, and as much as I'd like to say I get it, I don't. (Side note: The best work of fiction on the Trinity is The Chronicles of Narnia; CS uses Aslan to paint a really great picture of all three Persons. Scratching your head? Reread 'A Horse and His Boy' for the Holy Spirit.incredible)
- God never changes. Oh thank You for that! Super comforting
- People who know their God are different than people who know about their God. And the difference is huge in life, joy, peace, strength, witness
- "To be preoccupied with getting theological knowledge as an end in itself, to approach Bible study with no higher a motive than a desire to know all the answers, is the direct route to a self-satisfied self-deception. We need to guard our hearts against such an attitude, and pray to be kept from it"

Much love
