Knowledge of the Holy

by A.W. Tozer

This book is AMAZING.  Last weekend my family and I started "Who is God?" Secret Church (from 2004-ish) and long story short, I pulled out my kindle version of this book and dug in.

Have you ever attempted to write a book post and felt that anything you could say about that book would fall so far short, that it sounds so ridiculous to even attempt to describe how good it is?  That is exactly what I feel trying to write a review about this book.  

I. Love. This. Book.

It is amazing.

There are so many quotes, but this one may be the driving conviction behind why I want to remember this book and spend time diving deep into who God is :

"It is not a cheerful thought that millions of us who live in a land of Bibles, who belong to churches and labor to promote the Christian religion, may yet pass our whole life on this earth without once having thought or tried to think seriously about the being of God. Few of us have let our hearts gaze in wonder at the I AM, the self-existent Self back of which no creature can think. Such thoughts are too painful for us. We prefer to think where it will do more good - about how to build a better mousetrap, for instance, or how to make two blades of grass grow where one grew before. And for this, we are now paying a too heavy price in the secularization of our religion and the decay of our inner lives."

HIGHLY recommend!!!
