Synopses & Reviews
The logging industry in eastern Texas is booming, and Deborah Vandermark plans to assist her family's business now that she's completed college. Unexpectedly, her best friend, Lizzie Decker, accompanies her back home--fleeing a wedding and groom she has no interest in. Deborah, the determined matchmaker, puts her sights on uniting her brother and dear friend in a true love match.
Deborah soon meets Dr. Christopher Clayton, a much-needed addition to the town. As their lives intersect, Deborah realizes that she has a much greater interest in medicine and science than the bookkeeping she was trained in. But when typhoid begins to spread and Lizzie's jilted fiance returns, Deborah wonders if true love can overcome such obstacles...for those dearest to her, and for herself.
Synopsis
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.
