“I do not think it can be disputed that while we lay heavy stress on faith (coming to Christ, trusting His promises, believing that God knows what He is doing with our lives, and hoping for heaven), we touch very lightly on repentance (binding one's conscience to God's moral law, confessing and forsaking one's sins, making restitution for past wrongs, grieving before God at the dishonor one's sins have done Him, and forming a game plan for holy living).”
― J.I. Packer, Rediscovering Holiness

“Part of the answer to the question that life's roller-coaster ride repeatedly raises, why has this happened to me? is always: it is moral training and discipline, planned by my Heavenly Father to help me forward along the path of Chrislike virtue.”
― J.I. Packer, Rediscovering Holiness

“There is no holiness without a Christ-centered, Christ-seeking, Christ-serving, Christ-adoring heart.”
― J.I. Packer, Rediscovering Holiness

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
