I was just perusing a few new books I've just gotten and was feeling a little overwhelmed at my ever-growing "to read" list when I picked up an "oldy but goody," J.I. Packer's Knowing God. I was reminded of how much I have loved this book and how formative it was for me when I first read it. If any of you out there have never read it, I would encourage you to pick it up. Sell all, as they would say, and buy it. Packer is also the author of another of my favorites, a book on the Puritans, entitled (in the U.S.) A Quest for Godliness. Both are well worth the investment (time and money) for you bibliophiles out there.

So many books, so little time!
