katie_reed 's review for:
The Knowledge of the Holy
by A.W. Tozer
In this book, Tozer does a good job at helping his readers to see some of the biggest and most central attributes of God.
He starts by describing why understanding and knowing this is both important ("Low views of God destroy the gospel for all who hold them.") and the gift of God ("For while the name of God is secret and His essential nature incomprehensible, He in condescending love has by revelation declared certain things to be true of Himself. These we call His attributes."). This book does a great job of describing and highlighting these attributes.
One of my favorite paragraphs from the book:
"We who feel ourselves alienated from the fellowship of God can now raise our discouraged heads and look up. Through the virtues of Christ's atoning death the cause of our banishment has been removed. We may return as the Prodigal returned, and be welcome. As we approach the Garden, our home before the Fall, the flaming sword is withdrawn. The keepers of the tree of life stand aside when they see a son of grace approaching."
