Alongside Dr. Larry Taylor ("Running With The Horses"), I think A.W. Tozer is one of the better evangelical writers, and, if the book cover description is accurate, he's also a very accessible "mystic". His spirituality is clear and often contagious/inspiring. If I may borrow from one of the chapter names, he is an "open secret". He does not hide his knowledge (it is semi-traceable), but he still attempts to respect the endlessness of Christian mystery. He attempts to be awe-filled, though in a sometimes "teachy", insufficient way. He is both mature and childlike.

The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer illuminates God’s attributes—from wisdom, to grace, to mercy—and in doing so, attempts to restore the majesty and wonder of God in the hearts and minds of all Christians. It teaches us how we can rejuvenate our prayer life, meditate more reverently, understand God more deeply and experience God’s presence in our daily lives.

The Attributes of God

"True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time," says the author in his preface." The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from God, must also, as the Quakers used to say 'speak to the condition' of his hearers; otherwise he will speak a language known only to himself. His message must be not only timeless but timely. He must speak to his own generation. "The message of this book is indeed both timeless and timely. Tozer is primarily concerned with the loss of the concept of 'majesty' from the popular mind and more importantly in the thinking of the church. He sees the church as having surrendered her once lofty concept of God - not deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge. With this comes a further loss of religious awe and a sense of the divine presence, of an appropriate spirit of worship and of our ability to withdraw inwardly to meet God in adoring silence." Tozer attempts to address this problem, to go back to the causes of the decline and to understand and correct the errors that have given rise to our loss of a sense of the holy. "It is impossible to keep our moral practices sound and our inward attitudes right while our idea of God is erroneous or inadequate" he tells us.

“Love and faith are at home in the mystery of the Godhead. Let reason kneel in reverence outside.” A true classic of faith and devotion, The Knowledge of the Holy by A.W.

Informative and inspiring, this remarkable and important work shows us how we can rejuvenate our prayer life, meditate more reverently, in order to more deeply understand God and experience His presence in our daily lives. The Knowledge of the Holy is a superb aid to strengthening and deepening the spiritual life by returning the towering Christian concept of God to the center of the religious mind.
