Summary

Most people think of weakness as purely negative, but true Christianity embraces weakness as a way of life. In this collection of meditations on 2 Corinthians, renowned Bible scholar and theologian J. I. Packer reflects on the central importance of weakness for the Christian life. He exhorts listeners to look to Christ for strength, affirmation, and contentment in the midst of their own sin and frailty.

Now in his mid-eighties, Packer mediates on the truths of Scripture with pastoral warmth and exegetical care, drawing on lessons learned from the experience of growing older and coming face-to-face with his own mortality. Overflowing with wisdom gleaned from a life of obedience to Christ and dependence on his Word, this encouraging audiobook ultimately directs listeners to the God who promises to be ever-present and all-sufficient.

Loved it.

Loved it.
So much wisdom here.
J I Packer really shows his humility and love for God and the Scriptures.
The subject of weakness is handled with Witt at times but points seriously to the great need to show weakness as strength.
Very well needed lesson.
Thank you J I Packer
