The Companion Bible Study to Knowing God by J. I. Packer

Faithful. Triune. Beyond comparison. Triumphant over all. These words barely begin to describe the God we serve, yet he invites us to have a relationship with him. What could be more important than knowing this all-surpassing God?

This five-session Bible study, based on J. I. Packer's bestselling classic Knowing God, explores the character and actions of God throughout Scripture. It encourages us to look for God every time we read the Bible and to deepen our understanding, trust, and worship in response.

Published in honor of the fiftieth anniversary of Knowing God, this edition of the Knowing God Bible Study helps individuals and groups explore and apply biblical truths.

What you'll find inside:



- Sessions that weave Packer's insights together with specific Scripture passages

- Reflection questions and application ideas that help you carry truth from the page into your daily walk with God

- A leader's guide and suggested resources well suited for small groups, Sunday school classes, or book clubs

This companion guide is designed to be used alongside Knowing God by J. I. Packer, so you can read, discuss, and apply what you are learning at every step. For more resources, Knowing God Devotional Journal, Knowing God Study Guide, and Knowing God Fiftieth Anniversary Edition are also available.
