Wow, I'm glad I doubled back to catch the Packer video. You are not using hyperbole to describe him as one of the greatest theologians in our present generation. Marcus

Somehow I missed this post a couple of days ago, when I commented on your business travel post. Wow, I’m glad I doubled back to catch the Packer video.

You are not using hyperbole to describe him as one of the greatest theologians in our present generation.

Mr. Packer's voice and demeanor are soothing to the soul. I wish that writing could be a central part of my ministry too, instead of a "when I can get to it" activity. The video is very nicely done.

Video is such an honest conveyor of the humble manner and kind spirit of the man, that now I will finally take Howard's advice and read one of his books. The setting and the sound are engaging.

Very professional looking. Also enjoyed hearing Mr. Packer talk and can only imagine what it must be like to sit under his tutelage.

Packer, it feels like hearing the voice of an old friend that one hasn't seen for many years, but recognizes instantly nonetheless.

That would be wrong! We're just trying to give a little short video that feels as close in spirit to Laity Lodge as possible. This video doesn't begin to capture what it is like to be there. But it's not a bad start. Glad you dropped by, L.L. The water sounds were my idea. : )

Packer wrote a book called <em>Knowing God</em> that got a lot of attention. He was also very involved in the New Revised English Standard version of the Bible for what it's worth. <b>Mary</b>, thanks for dropping by! I'm glad you like the production value. That is one of the key things we were working on. How to keep costs down without appearing "cheap." Video can get crazy expensive, you know. Thanks for the encouragement, Shep.

He seem to be a humble man listening and following the Lord. That is the kind of person I want hear. Keep the videos coming.
