There is no deeper, more intense human longing than to know God is real and to see Him face to face."" In some circles, having a personal relationship with God"" is synonymous with being a Christian. We are told, in fact, that we 'must' have such a relationship if we are truly God's children. But if we are honest, says Tim Stafford, we must admit that often there is a considerable gap between our talk and our experience. We want to know God. The problem is that we don't know how to know Him. How do we know God personally?"" After examining the traditional answers and finding their shortcomings for himself, Stafford began his own search for the means to knowing, personally, a personal God. 'Knowing the Face of God' is the moving record of his quest. This book should be around for many years and should be read many times."" --Philip Yancey This is the type of literature that the church desperately needs."" --R. C. Sproul A fine blend of sound theology, personal insight, and lucid writing."" --Harold L. Myra Tim Stafford is one of the brightest and freshest writers on the Christian scene."" --Charles W. Colson
