Uncovering the Pearl

History & Biography

“This watershed resource volume fills the gaping information gap on Asian Christianity with the content of both the historical wealth and future possibilities of these various and vibrant forms of the faith. With better knowledge of global interactions and exchanges, we can reconsider our understanding of Christianity through an Asian lens and more faithfully attend to what it has meant to be a Jesus follower engaging our world through the ages to today.”

Worship and the World to Come

Preaching & Worship

“There is now a growing number of theologically trained worship thinkers and practitioners interested in moving past the old 'worship wars' of style toward a deeper, more thoughtful type of worship training (or catechism). This book promotes training to produce the fruit the Bible encourages us to grow—fruit that fills each of us as Christians, that is, as Jesus-followers, with an irresistible, irrepressible hope for what is to come. Dr. Glenn Packiam is committed to what is sometimes now outof vogue, the notion of discipleship. His evident dedication to the formation of the people of God makes this book worth reading. In fact, this is what many of us have long been hoping for—a book that simplifies complex theological concepts into very useful frames for worship leaders and worshipers who may not have undertaken any formal study.”
