Confused, angry, and hurt after the death of his father, a young R.
C. Sproul began his personal search for ultimate truth with these
piercing questions: Who are you, God? And why do you do the things
you do? In Enjoying God, readers journey with R. C. Sproul to
discover the attributes of God through the questions many of us
have asked: Where are you, God? Can I trust you, God? and more. In
this warm, personal account, Dr. Sproul communicates deep truths in
a fresh and easy-to-understand style as he shares his passion to
know God and urges the reader to dig deep and seek the God who is
alive, who is real, and who loves each one of us.
KNOWING GOD is one of the most significant and popular Christian
books of our time and has deepened the faith and understanding of
millions of people around the world. 'Dr Packer says we're cruel to
ourselves if we try to live in his world without knowing about the
God whose world it is and who runs it. I'm convinced we're cruel if
we deny ourselves the wisdom contained in this Christian classic.'

In 5 never-before-published lectures originally given in 1978,
theologian J. I. Packer tackles common objections to
Christianityāincluding secular humanism, pluralism, and
universalismāby preaching the glory of the gospel and Christ
crucified.Ā
If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not
bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is
not really sovereign at all? In this classic study, J. I. Packer
shows how false both these attitudes are. In a careful review of
the biblical evidence, he demonstrates how a right understanding of
God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an
incentive and powerful support for it.

"There was a time," writes renowned theologian J. I. Packer in this
classic book on biblical holiness, "when all Christians laid great
emphasis on God's call to holiness. But how different it is today!
To listen to our sermons and to read the books we write, and then
to watch the zany, worldly, quarrelsome way we behave, you would
never imagine that once the highway of holiness was clearly marked
out for Bible-believers." In this revised and updated edition of
Rediscovering Holiness, the highway is once more clearly marked out
for a new generation of readers, pointing to true freedom and joy,
both now and in eternity.

At one time or another, every Christian goes through a period which
is referred to as a "desert experience"-a time when they feel
forsaken by God, in doubt about what God would have them do, a
period of darkness of the soul. Many, during those times, feel they
are alone in this experience, but this thought-provoking book shows
readers that they are not alone-that in fact, many well-known
Christians have been there also. Featuring personal testimonies
from each contributor, "The Desert Experience" offers readers
encouragement and valuable lessons from those who have made it
through the "desert"-lessons of hope, humility, goodwill, and the
sovereignty of God -all lessons necessary for the maturing of a
Christian.
Of all the teachings of Christianity, the doctrine of hell is
easily the most troubling, so much so that in recent years the
church has been quietly tucking it away. Rarely mentioned anymore
in the pulpit, it has faded through disuse among evangelicals and
been attacked by liberal theologians. Hell is no longer only the
target of those outside the church. Today, a disturbing number of
professing Christians question it as well. Perhaps more than at any
other time in history, hell is under fire. The implications of the
historic view of hell make the popular alternatives,
annihilationism and universalism, seem extremely appealing. But the
bottom line is still God s Word. What does the Old Testament reveal
about hell? What does Paul the apostle have to say, or the book of
Revelation? Most important, what does Jesus, the ultimate
expression of God s love, teach us about God s wrath? Upholding the
authority of Scripture, the different authors in Hell Under Fire
explore a complex topic from various angles. R. Albert Mohler Jr.
provides a historical, theological, and cultural overview of The
Disappearance of Hell. Christopher Morgan draws on the New
Testament to offer three pictures of hell as punishment,
destruction, and banishment. J. I. Packer compares universalism
with the traditional understanding of hell, Morgan does the same
with annihilationism, and Sinclair Ferguson considers how the
reality of hell ought to influence preaching. These examples offer
some idea of this volume s scope and thoroughness. Hell may be
under fire, but its own flames cannot be quenched by popular
opinion. This book helps us gain a biblical perspective on what
hell is and why we cannot afford to ignore it. And it offers us a
better understanding of the One who longs for all people to escape
judgment and obtain eternal life through Jesus Christ."

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit
(Galatians 5:25). The Holy Spirit empowers us, guides us, and
enables us to grow and endure in our relationship with the Father

Trinity, the person of the Spirit continues to attract attention

his classic Keep in Step with the Spirit, J. I. Packer seeks to
help Christians reaffirm the biblical call to holiness and the
Spirit s role in keeping our covenant with God. Packer guides us

must always be at the centre of true Spirit-led ministry. A new
chapter explores Christian assurance. With abiding relevance and

knowledge for healthy and joyous Christian living, through
understanding and experience of God the Holy Spirit. Here is a book

hearts. His holiness will purify our lives. When we meet God, we
will be changed. In this guide, bestselling author JI Packer leads

To some Western evangelicals, the practices of Eastern Orthodoxy
seem mysterious and perhaps even unbiblical. Then again, from an
Orthodox perspective, evangelicals lack the spiritual roots
provided by centuries-old church traditions. Are the differences
between these two branches of Christianity so sharp that to shake
hands is to compromise the gospel itself? Or is there room for
agreement? Are Eastern Orthodoxy and evangelicalism at all
compatible? Yes, no, maybe---this book allows five leading
authorities to present their different views, have them critiqued
by their fellow authors, and respond to the critiques. Writing from
an Orthodox perspective with a strong appreciation for
evangelicalism, Bradley Nassif makes a case for compatibility.
Michael Horton and Vladimir Berzonsky take the opposite stance from
their respective evangelical and Orthodox backgrounds. And George
Hancock-Stefan (evangelical) and Edward Rommen (Orthodox) each
offer a qualified perhaps. The interactive Counterpoints forum is
ideal for comparing and contrasting the different positions to
understand the strengths and weaknesses of these two important
branches of Christianity and to form a personal conclusion
regarding their compatibility. The Counterpoints series provides a
forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues
important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two
categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your
library with other books in the Counterpoints series."
This vigorous and incisive critique of modernity lights the path to
recovering the revitalizing heritage of classical Christianity.
