Read J.I. Packer's Knowing God.

Holy Smokes.
Check out what he wrote at the end of chapter two though:

The Lord Jesus Christ is now absent from us in body, but spiritually it makes no difference; still we may find and know God through seeking and finding His company. It is those who have sought the Lord Jesus till they have found Him- for the promise is that when we seek Him with all our hearts, we shall surely find Him-who can stand before the world to testify that they have known God. -Packer, Knowing God

See Keep Your Heart Diligently. Coincidence I've read it twice? I think not.
