I read this book when I was about 19 years old. It quite literally changed my life, giving me a greater appreciation and respect for God. The book does exactly what the title indicates. It helps you get to know God. The author, one of the most respected theologians of the 20th century, utilized the Bible to help readers understand what God is like. He explains God’s attributes or character traits as they have been revealed in nature and Scripture.

The book matters because knowing God rightly matters for one’s happiness and freedom.

King David wrote: “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” (Psalm 16:11, English Standard Version)

Jesus said: “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32)
