Growing in Christ – J.I. Packer

J.I. Packer, Growing in Christ (Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2022), 333 pp.

Growing in Christ by J.I. Packer was originally published in 1994. Crossway Books has updated this volume for a new generation of readers. Dr. Packer is convinced that the way of catechesis has fallen into hard times and needs to be revived.

The book is arranged into four parts that explore the Apostles’ Creed, baptism and conversion, The Lord’s Prayer, and the Ten Commandments. Packer’s theological insight and breadth is refreshing, which is no surprise to anyone who followed Dr. Packer before he went to be with the Lord.

Growing in Christ is a brilliant display of scholarship that is geared toward laymen and anyone who desires to develop spiritual courage and robust spirituality.

I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.
