About this listen

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.

Encouraging, helps one look forward beyond aches and pains of this world…an emphasis on hope, as Christ gave his disciples, He gives to us as well.

Hope is more than a word

J I Packer again brings scripture to us in a transcendent way. Full of wit and scholarly awareness he makes a few hours enjoyable and educational. The reader is a good match for Packer’s ability.

 This little gem of a book is worth taking the time to listen or to read

Having had a form of spiritual ADHD, my entire life, this book left me with the thought, “be still, and know that I am god”

Short but powerfully good

As always J.I. Packer does an excellent job of talking about the suffers of the Christian life and how God works in those sufferings.
