Please join in on the discussion of this book!
Click on Knowledge of the Holy to read this book online. (I would highly suggest starting with the preface.)
I have been reading this book off and on for the past 3 weeks and have been challenged greatly by it. Currently I am in Chapter 5: The Self Existence of God.Quotes to Ponder:
"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."
-What do we think about God?
-What do we not think about God that we ought to? "her silence is often more eloquent that her speech."
"The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him."
What are your thoughts on these quotes? What else from this book sticks out to you?
I know for myself that I am continually fighting a battle within to think correct thoughts of who God is.

I actually found your blog by clicking on the "Knowledge of the Holy" link in the "Favorite Books" profile section... Anyway, "Knowledge of the Holy" is one of my favorite books ever. I love how it constantly calls to mind God's transcendence--His being completely other than anything we could try to compare Him to. One of my favorite things to do in prayer time is to think about how mind-bogglingly enormous He is--how holy, how powerful, how beautiful--and then realize that He actually relates to me! He loves me! He likes me! But He's God Almighty! And as if that weren't enough to try and wrap a puny human brain around, then try to think that the same God took on human flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14).
It's enough to make you worship Him forever.
