J.I. Packer on the secret of total joy

J.I. Packer is a contemporary giant of the faith. So it's always a treat to come across new material from him. I've been listening to a chapel message he gave at RTS Orlando called "Nothing Better". It's a brief survey of the themes found in the "literary duality" that is the book of Ecclesiastes. Packer explains how it's written in a kind of classical sonata form. He shares that this is his favorite book of the Bible because as a young man he was the sort of cynic that the writer of Ecclesiastes almost became. I can relate. I was well on the way to becoming a joyless cynic until God gripped my heart with the truth and beauty of the gospel. The message is available at iTunes U>Reformed Theological Seminary>RTS Chapel Messages>RTS Orlando Chapel Messages-Fall 2006 or search "Packer nothing better".
