Product Description:
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 God's infinity to God's love -- and relates that aspect to today's world, while pointing always to God's wonder and inscrutability.A. W. Tozer asserts that the cause of many of our modern spiritual woes is the loss in today's church of a lofty concept of God. He argues persuasively that the cure lies in our rediscovery of God's 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 man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.' The Knowledge of the Holy bearseloquent witness to the concept of God's majesty, encourages reverent meditation on the being of God, and offers a way to bring back spiritual power to our lives.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - AWESOME!!
we are discussing this book in my Titus Project class at church. this book has immensely given me a renewed focus on God. yes, there are some questions in some of the things Tozer writes, with some things seeming to contradict. but it allows us to not focus on Tozer and his flaws but on God's glory by looking at His glorious attributes as given in Scripture. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to have a renewing of mind towards our Creator and Saviour.
Rating:  - Knowledge of the Holy, orthodox theology 101.
The only obvious weakness of Tozer's classic little book on Christian theology is that he eventually has a difficult time conforming to his own excellent theological advice. That is, after initially and correctly emphasizing "God Incomprehensible", he sometimes falls prey to the common tendency to define God in words and ideas too familiar and inadequate. Where he finds this to be the case, the reader may remind himself that Tozer was probably awareness of this too, as he had already described the ... Read More
Rating: - Knowledge of the Holy
Aside from scripture, this may be the most important book you ever read about God. It's that good. It's an annual re-read for my spouse, and will become one for me, since it's reawakened my awe of God and his majesty.
Rating: - Succinct but Powerful Book
When I pick up a book this slim, I usually think I can knock it out in a short amount of time.
I was wrong.
Like a lot of C.S. Lewis books, the length is deceiving: you can't just breeze through them. The depth of intellect and the power of the words mean slowing down to absorb what A.W. Tozer is saying. It really is an amazing book of knowledge, insight and experience.
I also recognized a lot of problems people have with faith that Tozer addressed then--and ... Read More
Rating: - Daily reading required!
This is a book about the attributes of God. Tozer does an outstanding job of pointing us to God by recalling those things which the Bible says are true of God Almighty.
A few ideas Tozer repeats throughout the book. These ideas are:
1) Modern man has lost the vision of the majesty of our God, and the first step to aquiring it is to determine to "Aquaint ourselves with God".
2) In attempting to see God the way that He truly is, we must believe in order that we ... Read More
