Independent intensities, 0–5 — what the work is made of, not how good it is.

A survey of the Christian faith published in 1995 (Harold Shaw in the United States, Eagle in Britain) and reissued by InterVarsity Press. In the publisher's account, Packer sets out the bedrock truths of Christianity to help ordinary believers deepen devotion into discipleship. The book covers the doctrines of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit; spiritual growth; prayer and worship; fellowship and renewal in the church; Christian citizenship; and the last things, God's judgment and Christ's ascension.
