Packer."I was to preach for the initial time to my home church in northern Ontario, having returned from a rendezvous of Bible school. I wanted to make good in the eyes of frequent who had discipled me, so I drew on the best book of theology I had ever read-which, of course, alleged the best of about a dozen.
And by "drew on," of course, I mean "stole bald-facedly from." In fact, I tried to sum up J. I. Packer's 35-page stage on our siding with by God, probably one of the best treatments ever of that subject matter and itself a reproduction of concision.

"Forty existence last its make available in 1973, Knowing God continues to bless readers with reference to the world. It continues to fill authors, too, as it does what very few books hug been adroit to do: excise page last page of to the letter nuanced Christian philosophy in a mark that family actually operation reading."
