Knowing God: The Prefaces

Dr. Packer originally wrote Knowing God  in 1973 and provided an update to the book in 1993. As a result he wrote two prefaces to the book, one for each of the years the books was published. As we head into reading through Knowing God , let me encourage you to read the Prefaces. Dr. Packer makes an important point as we begin our journey of reading the book: this book is a “nurture book”...”a book for travelers.” And at the heart of the book is “the conviction...that ignorance of God — ignorance of both his ways and of the practice of communion with him — lies at the root of much of the church’s weakness today.” (written nearly 50 years ago...as much as some things change, some things don’t it seems)

Reading through Knowing God Together

 The body of The Hills Church will be reading through Knowing God by J. I. Packer together through the month of September. If you would like to join us  (one chapter each weekday...use the weekends to catch up or get ahead),  here are links to various sites you can purchase the book from in print, audio, or ebook formats including in Spanish. Make sure to check the different sites as cost varies and shipping cost varies. The sites are not listed in any particular order so the cost may be cheaper at different sites.  On the audio books, you may be able to sign up for a 30-day trial to listen to the book for free (but make sure to remember to cancel your trial when done).  Also, there are English and Spanish versions of the book.
