Martyn Lloyd-Jones wanted him to do and also leaving the Anglican Church of Canada after its liberalizing moves on marriage and becoming a leading figure in the new Anglican Church in North America. Yet he was a faithful evangelical Anglican who was engaged in the life of his church for decades, both making waves as a younger man for refusing to leave the Church of England and join a separate British pan-evangelical church, as D. Packer’s stature in the wider evangelical world is such that it is possible to know his work without knowing much if anything about his Anglicanism. In the world of Evangelicalism, marred lately by shameful scandals and celebrity culture, surely we need more J.I. He was, moreover, by all accounts a kind, humble, and saintly man. He was the general editor of the ESV Bible translation, and one of the most influential evangelicals of the last hundred years. Packer died last summer, he left behind a mountain of theological writing - nearly seventy books! - that few can match, including the classic bestseller Knowing God.

Why? How did we get to this place of maximum distraction? She offers a much-needed critique of our modern, connected lives: “There is nothing to be admired about being constantly connected, constantly potentially productive the second you open your eyes in the morning,” she proclaims early on, “and in my opinion, no one should accept this, not now, not ever.” And yet, of course, so many of us do accept exactly that. ![]() Her book is a call to arms against the myriad temptations of distraction.

(The sequence is reminiscent of the chilling opening of Ramsay's 2002 film "Morvern Callar," even down to the closeup of a cheap gold necklace with a girl's name in swoopy gold script. ![]() Ramsay does not allow us to see beyond the tight periphery of the frame. We are in the aftermath of some terrible event.
