Endorsements of the book
“John Prinzing's book is TRUE in a way that most never are. The product of a life-time of reflection on God's word. As the author meditates on Psalm 73, he draws us into the same life-giving discipline. If wise men build houses on "the Rock", John's book helps us locate it and begin the construction. A thoughtful and helpful and true work! Don Guthrie, Former Pastor First Baptist Church, San Antonio, Texas (Retired) - Rowlett, Texas
In an age of relativism, where biblical truth so often collides with human self-actualization disguised as Divine will, Knowing God As He Is stands as a beacon. It illuminates the deadly shoals of spiritual presumption and guides the believer to the safe haven of spiritual and intellectual honesty. In this empathic work, Prinzing lays bare the all-too-attractive temptation to morph God’s will into our own—sometimes innocently, sometimes with intent—but never without consequences. After illustrating briefly from his own experience, he quickly ushers us into Scripture, the solid rock of Divine revelation. In Psalm 73, we’re reintroduced to Asaph, who found himself equally mired in the conundrum of presuming on God’s will, experienced the depths to which that condition pulled him, and climbed the heights to which he soared when repenting of his error. Asaph’s lesson is timeless, and Prinzing brings it to life in a deeply thought-provoking and extraordinarily readable way. A must for every serious Christian’s bookshelf.

God orchestrated a pivotal faith lesson for John during his college days to become a revelation decades later that the world needs to hear. Who would've thought that this message would emerge from a psalm that is not often mentioned in Christian circles?

‘Knowing God as He Is’ reflects Biblical, logical, and serious thought to the expectations we have as Christians versus the reality God has revealed in His word. What a concept! Homer Inman McMillan II, M.Min., J.D. Attorney at Law - Apalachicola, FL
Jonathan Edwards taught that religious people find God useful, while Christians find God beautiful. In a day where people have to confront their doubts about God, the journey from faith to doubt and back to faith again only happens when you go on a spiritual journey. John Prinzing has opened his heart about his spiritual journey and shared with us how you come to love and serve God for who He is and not for what he can do for you. Using Asaph's experience in Psalm 73 to tell his own personal story, this book will help you to look honestly at your own faith and help strengthen you so that you will know God for who He truly is. Tom Messer, Senior Pastor, Trinity Baptist Church - Jacksonville, Florida
