Perhaps you have read J.I. Packer’s wonderful book, Knowing God. I believe that this book surely ranks as one of those books that people say, ‘It made a lasting impact upon my life.’ This year at SYPC in our monthly Discipleship Seminars (on the last Sunday evening of the month, February to November from 5.30pm) we will be looking at several chapters of Packer’s Knowing God. We will be focusing on his second section under the title ‘Behold Your God’. Hope you can join in.
