One Holy Passion: The Consuming Thirst to Know God

Foreword by J.I. Packer

Plot

Jesus spent His entire life on earth with a single-minded desire to do the will of His Father. Yet in our attempt as Christians to imitate the Son, do we seek God as zealously as Christ?
The head of the Triune, God the Father, may seem distant, too glorious and holy to approach. Yet knowing the Father as one knows Christ and the Holy Spirit can reveal an untapped dimension to our faith.
R. C. Sproul echoes the cries of Moses and Paul as he asks, "Who are you, God?" and in doing so, wonders, "Who am I?" "The Bible tells us that we are made in the image of God," says Sproul. "But can we accurately understand the image until we know the One whose image we bear?"
Because God is, for the most part, silent and invisible, He is thought of as the "divine absence" rather than the "divine presence." This book prompts us to understand His true nature. Understanding the awesome richness of His character and personality, will draw us closer to Him.
This search for a deeper understanding of God will captivate and inspire you to know the attributes of God as Father, as the invincible Power, as the One who loves us so much He will not let us go. This yearning - this "one holy passion"- to truly know God may change you - and your fatih- forever.
