Knowing Christ
by Mark Jones · 256 pages · English
A devotional and theological exploration of the person and work of Jesus Christ, drawing on Puritan writers to deepen the reader's affection for Him.
Drawing heavily on Puritan writers such as Thomas Goodwin and John Owen, Mark Jones offers thirty-one short, devotional chapters exploring different facets of the person and work of Jesus Christ — his love, his beauty, his offices, his sympathy for the weak.
With a foreword by J. I. Packer, the book is designed to be read slowly, one chapter at a time, as an aid to what the Puritans called "experimental" or experiential knowledge of Christ — not mere doctrinal information, but affectionate acquaintance.

Knowing Christ is a majestic gem. Its author takes the reader by a loving pastoral hand into depths and riches, exhorting us to know Christ better and to love him more.
Knowing Christ is a book calculated to enrich our twenty-first-century souls, and one that it is an honour to introduce.
