Seeing God in the Dark: Unraveling the Mysteries of Holy Living
Overview
How should Christians behave towards one another and towards the world? How are we to be the face of Christ when seeing God is so difficult? J. I. Packer explores these and other challenging questions in this third volume of his collected writings. In four sections, Packer examines questions regarding the church as it is, the church as it should be, evangelism, and Christian living, exploring such topics as conscience, morality, sanctification—and even leisure.
