This book by J. I. Packer is a contemporary classic of practical Christian living literature. One's relationship with God is at the heart of anyone's religious life - and here Packer unpacks what this means, looks like, feels like, or doesn't (and how can we try to discern well where/whether these things are/n't the case) in Scripturally-grounded, doctrinally sound - but generous and challenging to the rigid orthodoxies we fall into when driven by fear of the world over love of God's supreme goodness - there is far more in this book than I could hope to summarize with a post such as this, but can wholeheartedly recommend this as a text that will help in anyone's faith journey if digested slowly, thoughtfully, and with self-reflection and prayer. It's been one of many recent landmarks in my personal spiritual growth but perhaps one of the most concretely helpful for its theological rigour.
