Knowing God

July 18, 2025 by Daniel Dignan Leave a Comment

I read this book when I was 19. It explains what some of the most ancient writings tell us about what God is like and how to know him. The writings are books contained within the Old and New Testaments.

I’ve read many books, but very few have made me a happier person or changed my life. This book did.

David, the one who killed Goliath with a sling, devoted much of his teenage years to studying the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). He wrote this about God: “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)

What did you find most helpful about the book?
