Hope and Holiness

Christian Living

“John Fonville clearly states his aim 'to show that the gospel, not practical steps or more self-discipline, is God's provision for the power to live a life of purity, and it is available to every Christian.' This he seeks todo by focusing on Paul's teaching in his letters to the Corinthians and by contrasting this with the total ineffectiveness of legalism and all other kinds of discipline and human effort. Emphasizing Paul's repeated use of the phrase 'Do you not know . . . ?' the author shows how the power of the gospel is the only answer—not only to guilt and self-condemnation but also to corruption and slavery to sin. The prevalence of sexual sin in the world and in the church today is such that this book meets an urgent need and will be of great help to many.”

Suffering

Christian Living

“The subject of suffering needs to be studied, taught, and kept on the front burner of our faith. Many have lost their way from God for want of biblical teaching on the subject. This book is a significant contribution in this area. After comprehensive discussions on the teachings of Jesus relating to suffering and persecution, the author gives well-documented and sometimes graphic descriptions of the torture and killing of thousands of Christians from around the world. Many of these examples have never been reported by the Western press or admitted to by Western governments. All, however, bear witness to my own long-standing maxim: We have a gospel worth living for and a gospel worth dying for.”

The Heritage of Anglican Theology

Theology

“The subject matter of this book is vast, and only someone with particular gifts of theology, Christian commitment, and skillful communication could attempt to cover it. Packer succeeds with consummate mastery, lucidly guiding the reader through what he refers to as ‘a jungle of lush growth of all sorts.’ The result is a compelling, informative, and instructive read that should have its place in the lives of all Anglicans, theologians and laity alike. I recommend it most highly.”
