Dr Packer says we're cruel to ourselves if we try to live in this world without knowing about the God whose world it is and who runs it. I'm convinced we're cruel if we deny ourselves the wisdom contained in this Christian classic
If you want to get to know God better, then this book will help. Not only does it focus on different aspects of his character, but also has chapters on different doctrines and themes, e.g. sovereignty, judgement, which means that it is almost a complete book on Christianity.
It is quite an intellectual book, and is difficult and slow to read, but the effort is worth it.
It probably isn't suitable for a new Christian or someone investigating Christianity.
