They Knew Their God Volume 1

Is it possible to know God? Is He really knowable? And if He is then can we actually come to know Him intimately talking to Him as friend to friend hearing His voice guiding and counseling us living to please Him and basking in His company? From Biblical times up to the present men and women have asked these questions and forged out answers that enabled them to become what we now describe as the saints of the Church.The journey of some of these saints is recorded in They Knew Their God Volume One by E. & L. Harvey who were inspiredthe passage in Psalms 48: 12-13: Walk about Zion go all around it count its towers consider well its ramparts; go through its citadels that you may tell the next generation. Beginning with Nicholas of Basle a fourteenth century preacher and concluding with Johanna Veenstra a twentieth century missionary the authors introduce us to men and women whose desire to know God led them on often dangerous yet rewarding journeys. Their starting point varied greatly--Roman Catholic Lutheran Episcopalian Salvation Army and Methodist but they all had a common goal-- a life hidden in the heart of God.Dont read this book however if you are stuck within denominational boundaries. Dont read it if you want a hard and fast recipe for spiritual success. Dont read it if you have already set the limits of your faith. But read it if you feel within you the unquenchable desire to know the God Who made you loved you and redeemed you. And then be inspired to forge out your own peculiar journey into God.
