Review A popular book on the attributes of God, and one that is readable! -- Eternity Recovers lost aspects of the biblical faith for contemporary Christianity. -- Book News Letter A modern classic of Christian testimony and devotion, The Knowledge of the Holy shows us how we can rejuvenate our prayer life, meditate more reverently, understand God more deeply, and experience God’s presence in our daily lives. The Knowledge of the Holy by beloved evangelical author and Christian mystic A.W. Tozer illuminates God’s attributes-from wisdom, to grace, to mercy-and in doing so, attempts to restore the majesty and wonder of God in the hearts and minds of all Christians. Informative as well as inspirational, The Knowledge of the Holy returns the towering Christian concept of God to the center of the religious mind, fostering a renewed appreciation of the magnitude of God’s glory. This timeless gift breathes a spirit of devotion for all Christians, from those who are newly arrived to those who are committing themselves anew to Jesus Christ. From the Inside Flap This classic of Christian testimony and devotion explores the attributes of God in words that fly straight to the heart. A superb aid to strengthening and deepening the spiritual life, each chapter begins with a prayer, lucidly discusses a divine aspect--from Gods infinity to Gods love--and relates that aspect to todays world, while pointing always to Gods wonder and inscrutability. Tozer asserts that the cause of many of our modern spiritual woes is the loss in todays church of a lofty concept of God. He argues persuasively that the cure lies in our rediscovery of Gods majesty. What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us, he writes. The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and mans spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God. The Knowledge of the Holy bears eloquent witness to the concept of Gods majesty, encourages reverent meditation on the being of God, and offers a way to bring back spiritual power to our lives.
