I Packer     books:       Putting Amazing Back into Grace: Embracing the Heart of the Gospel27 reviews Michael Horton Baker Books, 2002 The Right Book and the Right Time I have been re-re-reading "Putting Amazing Back into Grace" by Michael Horton and am stunned once again! Any book that can capture your thoughts the third time around and make you expand on those thoughts is a book that you can really enjoy over and over until the binding wears out. The way I'm reading the book this time is reminiscent of the way I read "Desiring God" by John Piper about a year ...             A Quest for Godliness: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life13 reviews J. I. Packer Crossway Books, 1994 An Edifying Overview of Puritan Life and Ministry - A Must Read! In 336 densely packed pages and over several chapters, Packer, in his book, 'A Quest for Godliness,' brings the reader face to face with many different facets of Puritan life and ministry with historical precision and keen theological insight. Packer insists that an encounter like this with the Puritans is essential for Christians today who have all but lost any true sense of what Puritans ...             In My Place Condemned He Stood: Celebrating the Glory of the Atonement J. I. Packer Crossway Books, 2008 An important anthology that reaffirms the classic doctrine of substitutionary atonement and counters the ongoing attacks against it. If ever there was a time and a need for an enthusiastic reaffirmation of the biblical doctrine of substitutionary atonement, it is now. With this foundational tenet under widespread attack, J. I. Packer and Mark Dever's anthology plays an important role, issuing a clarion call to readers to stand firm in the ...             Keep in Step with the Spirit: Finding Fullness in Our Walk with God7 reviews J. I. Packer Baker Books, 2005 This book means freedom I was in the charismatic church back in the 80's. But, because of certain experiences I had while there, I began to have misgivings about the constant emphasis (not bad in itself but it left out many things it should not have) on the Holy Spirit and the way it was being taught. When I tried to speak with people (leadership) about my feelings I found that I started getting the cold shoulder ...             The Origin of the Bible8 reviews F. F. Bruce, J. I. Packer, ... Tyndale House Publishers, 2003 Excellent Resource One would expect, from the various contributors to this book, both excellent scholarship and conservative presentations. Both of these are true. What is unexpected is the easy readability of the materials covered. The contributors have bypassed the theological jargon for understandability. Whether the discussion is authority, inspiration, or infallibility, on the one hand, or the issues of ...             Knowing God74 reviews J. I. Packer InterVarsity Press, 1993 Great book, true classic The updated version of Packer's book features a new preface, an addition to the fourth chapter, and "Americanization" of the text (spelling and such). The list of endorsing readers is quite impressive, many singing the praises after having read the first edition. Apart from that, the book has been left alone, and Packer stated his hopes that the book would continue to enrich the lives of those ...             New Bible Dictionary4 reviews InterVarsity Press, 1996 Essential for anyone wanting to seriously study the Bible The New Bible Dictionary is more like an encyclopaedia than simply a dictionary. The scholarship is first-rate and the book is an almost essential resource for those who are conducting more in-depth study of the Bible. It contains a number of articles from a range of good Christian scholars on pretty much every person, place, book and other thing in the Bible. For example, when discussing a ...             Evangelism & the Sovereignty of God29 reviews J. I. Packer InterVarsity Press, 1991 Pressing Into God This is a remarkable and thought-provoking volume. Prof. Packer develops the view that there is an antinomy between human responsibility and the sovereignty of God. These understandings do not contradict each other and in fact exist alongside each other. We need to hold both ideas in our minds as we consider Holy Scripture and reflect on the truths of God's reality. The work also discusses ...             A Francis A. Schaeffer Trilogy: Three Essential Books in One Volume28 reviews Francis A. Schaeffer Crossway Books, 1990 Reviewing the links between culture and religion This book contains three books. It is an anthology of Francis Schaeffer's work. The books are "The God Who Is There," "Escape from Reason," and "He Is There and He Is Not Silent." Francis Schaeffer was an author who tried to keep fingers on the pulse of culture. He often related arts and other cultural institutions to the changing world views throughout history. Schaeffer was ...             Concise Theology: A Guide to Historic Christian Beliefs12 reviews J. I. Packer Tyndale House Publishers, 2001 Concise Theology This book is very informative and gives very precise answers to the questions I had. Sometimes I get really confused in the other books to which I refer; but I know that I can go to Concise Theology and get the answers in short monographs.             Preach the Word: Essays on Expository Preaching: In Honor of R. Kent Hughes2 reviews Crossway Books, 2007 Makes you want to be a better preacher R. Kent Hughes has faithfully heralded the Scriptures for over four decades. As a result, fifteen of Hughes' friends and colleagues from across the globe, including J.I. Packer, Wayne Grudem, John MacArthur, Peter Jensen and D.A. Carson, got together and contributed essays on expository preaching to honor the Word of God and encourage men to continue to faithfully herald the text, week in and ...             Fundamentalism and the Word of God3 reviews J. I. Packer Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1984 Perhaps Oudated, But Solid JI Packer wrote this book over 45 years ago. Some of the issues he addresses are not issues today. But the premise behind the book is timeless- the authority of the Word of God. Even though liberalism may not be as strong as it was 50 years ago, today Christendom is wandering farther and farther away from the authority of God?s Word. This fact can be seen in the growth of cults. It can also ...             Never Beyond Hope: How God Touches & Uses Imperfect People2 reviews J. I. Packer, Carolyn Nystrom InterVarsity Press, 2005 A very touching devotional book This book is based on a series of J.I. Packer sermons showing how God has used imperfect people such as Jacob, Samson, Manoah and others. In it's brief, simple and moving way, Packer's words also give the rest of us hope to continue with life's struggles. Easy to read and perfect for end of the day thought and reflection, I recommend it highly.             The Thirty-nine Articles: Their Place and Use Today1 review J., I. Packer, R., T. Beckwith Regent College Publishing, 2007 A Lament Over Indifference Packer's book on the Articles of Religion is not a study of the articles themselves but a lament over their disuse and the attitude of indifference toward them that seems to pervade Anglicanism. The result as Anglicanism has developed over the last 175 years or so is an increasing pluralism of beliefs within Anglicanism and a doctrinal "incoherence" unparalleled in mainline protestantism. The ...             The Death of Death in the Death of Christ: A Treatise in Which the Whole Controversy about Universal ...15 reviews John Owen Banner of Truth, 1959 Christýs Purposeful Death John Owen's work, The Death of Death in the Death of Christ, is the classic text defending the purposeful and actual procurement of salvation for sinners in the death of Christ. While characteristically portrayed as a polemical work on the Calvinistic understanding of limited atonement this work is actually much more. In brief, it is a defense for the perfect work of Christ, which actually ...             The Act of Bible Reading: A Multidisciplinary Approach to Biblical Interpretation1 review Gordon D. Fee, Craig M. Gay, ... InterVarsity Press, 1996 A Great Book Demands Great Readers Amongst numerous hermeneutics Books in stores, this one is quite different from others. Using the multidisciplinary approach, it starts with the historical perspective and canonical approach in the first two chapters. Each chapter also spends a good length for a detail and scholarly illustration of both approaches. The subsequent chapter discusses the theological perspective of Bible reading. ...             Guard Us, Guide Us: Divine Leading in Life's Decisions5 reviews J. I. Packer, Carolyn Nystrom Baker Books, 2008 Great teaching on how Christians receive God's guidance Packer and Nystrom present the church with a fresh formulation of divine spiritual direction. Here is a new book written by two authors who construct beautiful sentences and well-crafted chapters in order to teach Christians how it is that God communicates His will to us. This book is not short, skimpy, or sparing. It is more than just simple principles, and yet in many ways it arises from ...             Praying: Finding Our Way Through Duty to Delight3 reviews J. I. Packer, Carolyn Nystrom InterVarsity Press, 2006 a book on praying that has actually made a difference! I have begun, and rarely finished, many books on the subject of prayer. This book (which I have not only completed, but am re-reading) by Packer and Nystrom has actually helped me improve my prayer life. I find that the groundwork they lay (to Whom we are praying), and their following discourses on the different types of prayer have allowed me more freedom of expression when speaking to God. I am ...             Revival4 reviews Martyn Lloyd-Jones Crossway Books, 1987 Must read regarding REVIVAL It touches my heart. I think all the Christians should think about this topic and work up with it. The auther used simple verses of Bible and described problems of churches. Most important thing, he figured out the step we can follow and the concept we should keep in mind.             Growing in Christ1 review J. I. Packer Crossway Books, 2007 Excellent resouce for Bible study I was particularly looking for a book which handled the Ten Commandments when I came across this title by Dr. Packer. Originally published as I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN. Covers The Apostles' Creed, Baptism and Conversion, The Lord's Prayer, and The Ten Commandments, by breaking each down into concise studies. Very useful for individual or group.              search for books approach, articles, atonement, biblical, celebrating, christian, condemned, controversy, decisions, dictionary, discussed, embracing, essential, evangelism, expository, fullness, fundamentalism, godliness, historic, imperfect, interpretation, multidisciplinary, preaching, redemption, schaeffer, sovereignty, theology, thirty-nine, treatise, universal books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
