This is a book I could read many times and not tire of. It invites us to explore the nature of God and speaks to our creature role and his Creator magesty.

AW Tozer's, Knowledge of the Holy is a great read that all Christians should read. He gives great insight into the Lord and all that He is. Really opened my eyes up to new perspectives that has changed my walk with the Lord.

Jesus promised the woman at the well that His followers would be worshipping God in spirit and in truth--not in our conception of Him. In the gospel of John he promised that The Helper will lead us into all truth; implied is "If we ask for and let Him." Otherwise we would worship a God grieving idol. This book enlightens.

This book stimulates me to think great and lofty thoughts about God. In our cultrue God is too often brought down to man's level. He is too often thought of as being like man only a little smarter or a little stronger, but in Knowledge of the Holy I am forced to think of God unlike any other and worthy of more than my greatest thoughts; worthy of more than my best attempt at highest worship. I read this book every six months or so to remind me of who I am and who God is, and so that I don't lose a sense of awe when my thoughts turn to the One who is the object of true worship.

I was disappointed when I received this book. While the text is the same and it's another Tozer great; the pages are thin and the print is not clear. I wish I could have picked up this book at a resale shop for less than a dollar.

I am using it as a daily devotional. His message is still valid today as it was in the '60.s. Mr. Tozer had a real grasp of mankind and how man thinks about God. The attributes of God that He discusses give me a different view of God's attrubutes that I had not thought of before.

Tozer writes in a way that makes something as complex as the holiness of God easy to understand. It points out so clearly how far we have come as a church from recognizing His holiness. I recommend this to anyone who wants more of Him.

Next to your Bible there is no more important book to read. Tozer has nailed the attributes of God in an understandable and effective way. I first read this 35 years ago and was changed by what I learned. Once you understand the attributes of the mighty Creator of all, you will live in awe and respect for Him, changed from the core of your being.
Easy to read, compelling and precious.

This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to know more about God and develop a deeper understanding of Him. I think it would appeal more to people who have not yet developed that deep walk with God. It will definetly give you a better understanding of exactly who God is.M. McGeeCharlotte, NC

Tjis book really gives one a grand view of the Transcendence of God. Sin really is sinful and grace is remarkable in the light of God's holiness. Few believers have put it so eloquently as Tozer.

We purchased these for a study and are very pleased with the quality. We are young in our walk and struggle with the bible. This book was a little deep for us and may be why it was not speaking to us? I have heard nothing but good of it from others in our church.God Bless
