People considering knowing God can't help but have questions about knowing. Longing to Know by Esther Meeks addresses these questions by offering a fresh model concerning how people know anything at all.
Knowing is a profoundly human longing, a struggle responsibly to make sense of experience by shaping patterns and then submitting to their reality. Knowing, thus defined, turns out to be woven throughout the fabric of our lives. Ordinary acts of knowing happen pervasively. Knowing God is just such an ordinary act of knowing. As the book repeats in its primary illustration, knowing God is like knowing your auto mechanic.
This message restores hope and confidence, as well as a sense of humility, adventure, and stewardship concerning knowing in general, and knowing God in particular. My hope is that the book will heighten readers' longing to know.
