The God You Can Know

Summary: Answers the question Who is God and why you need to know Him
Review: I am reading the book for the fourth time in seven years. Reading the book made me realize that it is more important to know "who God is" than "How a Christian is supposed to live" because if you really know God, you can't help but live the way He wants you to.

The book will always remain in my reread library because each time through has provided additional insight into "How to please the Father"

Summary: On Point
Review: I knew the author back in the 70's and 80's and find the book to be consistant with his life and practice. His emphasis on the knowledge of God is both biblical and well expressed. I found the book to be spiritually stimulating and awakening afresh the desire to meditate on the Atributes of God and to pursue a deeper knowledge of Him. The book is well rounded balancing truth with application. A must for any serious Christian to read

Summary: Not the best
Review: This book has some very good ideas, but the author's prose are so poor, confused, and imprecise that it lessens the overall value of the book. Some parts of this book are also unbiblical. In addition, I also find this book too watered-down. It is better to read one of the Systematic Theology texts on Theology Proper rather than this book. I recommend the books by Charles Hodge, Louis Berkhof, Vincent Cheung, and Stephen Charnock.
