Format:Paperback
This book is sumptuous. A study into the attributes of God, its short chapters do require frequent reading, real concentration and a willingness to be lifted intio a new realm of insight and understanding. This book transcends denomination and culture, here is truth, distilled and delightful. Here are insights to amaze, humble and astonish. Tozer at the end of his life and a man who has left the best to last. Let 'Knowledge of the Holy' become a companion on the dusty road of the Christian life and be thankful that Tozer was able to write such a guide for all who still seek the 'spiritual path less travelled'.

Format:Paperback
This book brings the reader to holy ground indeed. To dare to know the all-powerful, all-knowing, infinite, eternal God is beyond human capacity. Yet Tozer, in appropriate awe of God, tells us that our heart can lead us where our intellect cannot. "That God can be known by the soul in tender personal experience while remaining infinitely aloof from the curious eyes of reason constitutes a paradox best described as Darkness to the intellect But sunshine to the heart." says Tozer quoting a Faber poem/saying.
It is easy to say terms like life-changing in our glib spin-oriented world. But the challenge of this book got at me in a way few books (outside the Bible) have. Tozer's statement about the church "Always the most revealing thing about the Church is her idea of God, just as her most significant message is what she says about Him or leaves unsaid, for her silence is often more eloquent than her speech. She can never escape the self-disclosure of her witness concerning God." touched me on a personal level too.
If you get one Christian book this year - make it "Knowledge of the Holy"

Format:Paperback
A W Tozer was a minister of the Christian and Missionary Alliance who died in 1963. In 1950 he became editor of his denomination's magazine and wrote articles of great spiritual penetration and insight. He wrote two books which have become classics - 'The Pursuit of God' and 'The Knowledge of The Holy' This book will repay slow, careful reading and give forth its fruit over a long period of time. It merits repeated reading. It deals with the attributes of God and will lead the reader into a deeper knowledge of God and a richer worship. Some modern American popular religious writers have drunk deeply at Tozer's well and quote him frequently. Read them, if you will, but much better to read Tozer himself - and repeatedly.

Great to reveal if you really worship the God of Heaven.
This book reveals the importance of growing in the knowledge of God. If you do not know Him, you cannot worship Him. If you do not worship Him, who do you worship? Read more
