What if 2026 wasn't about doing more, but about knowing God more?

This January, we're featuring one of the

most powerful and timeless books on Christian faith, Knowing God, written by J. I. Packer.

Now, this classic has helped millions of believers move from knowing about God to actually

knowing God personally. With deep biblical insight and heart-centered focus, Hacker invites you to explore God's
