According to Millard Erickson, J. I. Packer's God's Words is "a clear, succinct, and perceptive summary of significant evangelical beliefs." Useful to students, pastors, and laypeople alike, this popular title is now back in print.Packer examines key Bible words, explaining essential Christian doctrines in clear language and a warm, vigorous, and energizing style. He explains: "Keys open doors; key words open minds--and through minds, hearts. This book takes key words from the Bible . . . and spells out in a practical way some of the main thoughts linked with them. The goal is understanding, faith, and wisdom."Seventeen biblical words and themes such as revelation, grace, justification, and the devil are treated by Packer and expounded in his usual thoughtful manner.

Does it really matter?It does matter-and it's life-changing, says leading Pentecostal theologian Jonathan Black. With warmth and depth, he explores not only how the table is still a powerful place of transformation and encounter with Jesus, but also how we can experience Christ's promise of presence, glory, healing, forgiveness, victory, and intimacy when we answer His call to come to the table.Whether you're feeling the lack of His presence, are ashamed of sin in your life, or have never felt anything during Communion, Christ's invitation to partake in His feast is your invitation to taste and see that the Lord is good.
