BRAND NEW J. I. PACKER TRILOGY
J.I. PACKER
While 'KNOWING GOD' is the most famous of the books written by James I. Packer, it is not the only one he has written. In fact, now in his 90's he continues to put pen to paper to address the Burning Issues facing the Church in the early decades of the 21st century. We are combining and featuring Three Books:
(1) WEAKNESS IS THE WAY: Life with Christ Our Strength
For Christians, weakness should be a way of life. Yet most of us try desperately to be sufficient on our own, and we resent our limitations and our needs.
Renowned theologian and Bible teacher J. I. Packer reflects on his experience of weakness—having been hit by a truck at a young age and now facing the realities of aging—in order to teach us the importance of embracing our own frailty, and also to help us look to Christ for strength, affirmation, and contentment. Find here a path from discouragement to freedom in light of our all-sufficient God.
Table of Contents:
1. About Weakness
2. Christ and the Christian’s Calling
3. Christ and the Christian’s Giving
4. Christ and the Christian’s Hoping

(2) FINISHING OUR COURSE WITH JOY: Guidance from God for Engaging with Our Aging
Thinning hair, failing eyesight, and arthritic hands reveal an inescapable truth: we’re only getting older.
But that doesn’t mean we should simply sit back and take it easy. In Finishing Our Course with Joy, renowned theologian and author J. I. Packer challenges us to embrace old age as an opportunity for continued learning, careful planning, and heartfelt discipleship. Packer’s pastoral words and personal stories encourage us to press on toward the upward call of God with endurance and grace—that we might continue to glorify God in our aging and finish our lives with joy.
“Experts say that the proportion of the elderly population in the United States will grow by 80 percent in the decades to come. It is more important than ever to have a biblical mind about how we spend our latter years for God’s glory. We want to finish well (2 Tim. 4:7). And good pastors care to prepare their people to do precisely this. Finishing Our Course with Joy comes as wise, true, timely, and edifying biblical reflection and pastoral counsel on this significant subject. Dr. Packer’s book speaks to senior adults, those who love and care for them, those who will become them, and those who pastor them. As one who has had the privilege of knowing J. I. Packer since my teen years, reading these words—written from his own personal experience, communion with God, and knowledge of the Word—is poignant for me, to say the least. But that only makes the truth go in deeper. And that is good.” -J. Ligon Duncan III, Chancellor, CEO, and John E. Richards Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary
(3) CONCISE THEOLOGY: God Revealed as Creator, Redeemer, Lord of Grace and Lord of Destiny
NEXT TO HIS BOOK 'KNOWING GOD' THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK IN ALL THE WRITINGS OF THE LATE J.I. PACKER. IT IS THE PERFECT GIFT TO A NEW BELIEVER, AND A WONDERFUL BOOK FOR THE SEASONED VETERAN OF THE CROSS, WHO NEEDS TO BE REMINDED OF THE RICHES FOUND IN CHRIST.
"Theology is for doxology and devotion—that is, the praise of God and the practice of godliness.” —From the Preface
Theology is important for the Christian life. And though it is marked by many complex terms and doctrines, there is yet what J. I. Packer calls “the permanent essentials of Christianity.” This concise introduction to these essential doctrines distills theological truths so both scholar and layperson alike can grow to treasure the unchanging pillars of the Christian faith.
Each of the ninety-four chapters explores a different doctrine in a way that is easy to understand and rooted in historic Reformed teaching. As you learn more about the foundational teachings of the faith, you will grow in the knowledge of God and will worship him as your Creator, Redeemer, and sovereign Lord.
