I continue to be embarrassed that sometimes my first introduction to great men and women occurs at their death. J. I. Packer passed away last week, and I now learn that he is one of the most influential evangelicals in North America. I hope that many of you are already familiar with his work. I was not. One of his most widely read books is "Knowing God" which was written in 1973. That book is now on the way to my house in hopes that I can learn how to know God more from someone who obviously does. This is the most recent video I could find of him when he was 90 years old - still full of life. I hope you will take time to listen.
