Synopsis

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 readers 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 book ultimately directs readers to the God who promises to be ever-present and all-sufficient.

The only way to be strong is to be in Christ and live for Him and by Him. The greater my dependence on Christ in every area of life, the stronger I will be. I thou......more

4.6 stars. I love all of the content and I love the focus of this book. And I know that my next comment will frustrate some, but….I just don’t resonate with Packer’s writing style. I am not sure what it is, because he is solid Biblically and the content and layout make sense, but for me there is jus......more
