If the modern world can be characterised by one thing it is probably the enormous increase in the number of words around - but that increase has also been accompanied by a seemingly corresponding decrease in understanding.
J. I. Packer is a master wordsmith. He is also gifted with the ability of showing where truth lies in complicated reasoning. These skills combine to make 18 Words a fascinating read - and a life-changing one.
J. I. Packer (1926 - 2020) was named by Time Magazine as one of the 25 most influential evangelicals alive. He was the Board of Governors' Professor of Theology at Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
