To Know and Serve God - A Biography of James I Packer

Perhaps a more appropriate subtitle for this interesting and unique book would be 'The Life and Times of James I. Packer', for unlike most biographies, very little is revealed about James Packer's family background, his marriage to Kit or their children, or indeed the character of the man himself. Instead, what the reader is treated to is a fascinating account of the development of mainly British evangelicalism in the post-war years which Dr. Packer was seminally involved in shaping.
