"There was a time," writes renowned theologian J. I. Packer in this classic book on biblical holiness, "when all Christians laid great emphasis on God's call to holiness.

In this revised and updated...

Su estudio cuidadoso, incisivo y penetrante de la Biblia nos enseña que el entendimiento correcto...

Y, sin embargo, Dios actuó a través de estos hombres y mujeres para sus propósitos y gloria. A través del poder de Dios, sus puntos débiles se...
