Communion with God by John Owen, published by Banner of Truth Trust on August 16, 2022, is a second edition that spans 256 pages. This book explores the essential nature of communion with God, emphasizing its significance in the Christian life.

The book delves into themes of Christian living, spiritual growth, and theology, providing insights that remain relevant for contemporary readers seeking a deeper understanding of their faith.
Official synopsis Publisher
John Owen believed that communion with God lies at the heart of the Christian life. With Paul he recognized that through the Son we have access by the Spirit to the Father. He never lost the sense of amazement expressed by John: ‘Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ’. In this outstanding book he explains the nature of this communion and describes the many privileges it brings. Communion with God was written in a day, like our own, when the doctrine of the Trinity was under attack and the Christian faith was being reduced either to rationalism on the one hand or mysticism on the other. His exposition shows that nothing is more vital to spiritual well-being than a practical knowledge of what this doctrine means. Until now, Communion with God has been read by only small numbers of Christians with access to the 275 closely-printed pages in The Works of John Owen. Now Dr. R.J.K. Law has produced a splendidly readable abridgement of one of the greatest Christian classics of all time, bringing Owen’s rich teaching to a much wider readership.
