He's a lifelong Packer fan. I haven't seen or read the book, but he's absolutely enthralled by it. We talk frequently, and he brings the book up often. Every page has a memory for him. So, don't take my word for it: take the word of a man who watched Don Hutson catch passes on b.ustery Green Bay Sundays.             The Silent Question: Meditating in the Stillness of Not-Knowing5 reviews Toni Packer Shambhala, 2007 You will be changed by this book I loved this book for many reasons. A subtitle for the book could easily have been "Beyond Buddhism" although no doubt Ms. Packer would, I imagine, argue that such a title would make no sense as there is nothing to get beyond. Nevertheless the influences of her Zen background permeates the work but do not shadow it. The most exciting part of the book is that the history, theoretical ...             The Dive From Clausen's Pier: A Novel393 reviews Ann Packer Vintage, 2003 Dive From Clausen's Pier takes a dive Dive From Clausen's Pier starts with the attention grabbing dive of Mike Mayer leaving him a quadriplegic.

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.             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 ...             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 ...             Songs Without Words51 reviews Ann Packer Piatkus Books, 2007 A Journey Through Disordered Thinking "Songs Without Words," by Ann Packer, is a realistic novel dealing with the interior lives of five members of an extended suburban American family during a period of prolonged psychological crisis.

Across the ...             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.             In My Place Condemned He Stood: Celebrating the Glory of the Atonement2 reviews J. I. Packer Crossway Books, 2008 Mandatory Reading for Pastors Last week I received a copy of In My Place Condemned He Stood in the mail. And, as is my habit, I read the introduction and the endorsements; my only problem was, I could not put it down. The forward is by Ligon Duncan, Al Mohler, Mark Dever and CJ Mahaney. They explain in their piece that upon a series of lengthy discussions on great books and articles on the atonement they dreamed together ...             Songs Without Words (Vintage Contemporaries)51 reviews Ann Packer Vintage, 2008 A Journey Through Disordered Thinking "Songs Without Words," by Ann Packer, is a realistic novel dealing with the interior lives of five members of an extended suburban American family during a period of prolonged psychological crisis.

Across the ...             Betrayed: A Play George Packer Faber & Faber, 2008 Millions of Iraqis, spanning the country’s religious and ethnic spectrum, welcomed the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. But the mostly young men and women who embraced America’s project so enthusiastically that they were prepared to risk their lives for it by aiding the U.S. forces constitute a small minority. On a cold, wet night in January 2007, George Packer met two such Iraqi men in the lobby of the Palestine Hotel, in central ...             Sports Illustrated: Brett Favre: The Tribute (Sports Illustrated)16 reviews Sports Illustrated, 2008 Sports favorites Purchased books as gifts...beautiful book but didn't read it...I'm sure my friends will love it!             The Assassins' Gate: America in Iraq122 reviews George Packer Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2006 Best Book on the Iraq War (so far) Packer was an earlier supporter of the war in Iraq, who has, in the last couple of years, changed his tune. He is also an incredible writer, and Assassin's Gate is the best written book I have read on the war. Packer moves between DC and Iraq from the beginning of the plans for the war, including fascinating profiles of Anti-Saddam Iraqi and U.S. liberal who supported the war to the (almost) ...             Tales From Shakespeare2 reviews Tina Packer, Kadir Nelson, ... Scholastic, 2004 Tales from Shakespeare Absolutely beautiful! Stunning illustrations and accessible retellings of Shakespeare's most beloved plays. An excellent early introduction for children and a wonderful edition for anyone who cherishes Shakespeare.             Praying the Lord's Prayer2 reviews J. I. Packer Crossway Books, 2007 Devotional Oriented Praying the Lord's Prayer I found this little book to be a wonderful resource on understanding the many facets of the Lord's Prayer. The depth and knowledge of a man committed to studying God through scriptures is evident in each chapter. The book can be easily read for information in one sitting. I would not recommend that. I found the book to be most helpful reading it several times more ...             The Work of This Moment1 review Toni Packer Shambhala, 2007 something real in a universe of frauds just thinking about "pushing your own barrow", like its only half, you need to be aware of how instrumental it is with others or you get slaughtered. Religious(or similar) groups seem to utilise this "self kneecapping" in ways that are quite destructive to individuals.....i guess this is illustrative. well, i took a lot from the book, its slow reading, needs to be worked through, nothing is ...             Game of My Life: Green Bay Packers: Memorable Stories of Packers Football (Game of My Life)1 review Chuck Carlson Sports Publishing LLC, 2007 Great Insight from the Players I really enjoyed this book! I've read the Packers' history books and the players' autobiographies, but this book is unique in that it asks various players what was their most memorable game as a Packer. It is well organized and written. My 10 year-old son is reading it now!             The Wonder of Presence: And the Way of Meditative Inquiry4 reviews Toni Packer Shambhala, 2002 Zen & Krishnamurti made clear Toni Packer's writings are emblematic of a new era of Buddhist teachings in the West: women Dharma teachers. Along with Charlotte Joko Beck, Toni Packer provides a no-nonsense, yet compassionate approach to inner transformation. A friend of mine once described these approaches as "not for the faint-hearted", and maybe that's true. Toni Packer invites relentless inquiry into the workings of the ...             A quest for godliness: The Puritan vision of the Christian life13 reviews J.
