There is so much confusion and deception in the Church today. Just switch on the telly and you will see that Satan has largely succeeded in making a complete circus of the Church. There are so many false gospels, false doctrines, false teachers and false Christians. Even the true Bride has lost its way. Many are truly born again and trying hard to hold on, but they cannot understand why the Holy Spirit has been largely aloof in their lives, even for years. God knows those who are His, the true Bride, the good fish in the dragnet, the wheat, and this book is for them. This book is written for the beleaguered Bride to provide clear direction for her to find her way out of deception and back onto the narrow path that leads to Life. It is, in essence, an extended analogy which follows the trajectory of the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to Canaan, to unpack what experiences a Christian should expect as they progress on their own journey to eternal life. This is that journey which can only be made on the narrow path to life which Jesus spoke of, and of which He solemnly warned that few Christians would find. The book projects the Christian life as the protracted journey that it is, not a single life-changing incident somewhere in one’s past. Focusing on areas of deep confusion and deception in the Church, it takes a candid and profound, but practical look at those doctrines which are so fundamental to the Christian life, and which form practical landmark pillars along that journey - salvation, justification, the new birth, sanctification, perfection and glorification. It is the passionate will of Jesus Christ, through this book, to bring to His besieged true Bride, truth and clarity of understanding of these areas, so that she may regain the narrow road and begin to steadily move forward towards the goal of the crown of salvation, that coveted prize of the Christian journey, which the Apostle Paul diligently laboured for, spoke so passionately of and finally attained himself, as we all should and can. This first part of the book takes a very close look at exactly how God works in His children profoundly to transform them and get them into heaven. Laying out very clearly what God’s expectations of us are, it also looks at our part in this work that He does, both in us and through us, with a focus on how to practically overcome our flesh, our first enemy. Mark 6:34 "And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things."

This second part of the book takes a very close look at how Satan and his kingdom work to hinder the progress of the believer on their journey to Life, in the invisible battle between the kingdom of Darkness and the kingdom of God over our souls. It looks even more closely at how to overcome him and win. ​​​​​​Mark 6:34 "And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd.

Reading Revelation Responsibly is for those who are confused by, afraid of, and/or preoccupied with the book of Revelation. In rescuing the Apocalypse from those who either completely misinterpret it or completely ignore it, Michael Gorman has given us both a guide to reading Revelation in a responsible way and a theological engagement with the text itself. He takes interpreting the book as a serious and sacred responsibility, believing how one reads, teaches, and preaches Revelation can have a powerful impact on one's own--and other people's--well-being. Gorman pays careful attention to the book's original historical and literary contexts, its connections to the rest of Scripture, its relationship to Christian doctrine and practice, and its potential to help or harm people in their life of faith. Rather than a script for the end times, Gorman demonstrates how Revelation is a script for Christian worship, witness, and mission that runs counter to culturally embedded civil religion.

When religion meets comedy, it can get very interesting. So you thought the Bible was all about Jesus but then you tried to read it and found it full of genealogies and repetitions and wars and you could not get past Leviticus? What? You don't know who Leviticus was? That's alright. If you can't read the Bible cover to cover, you're a very normal person. And if you can't reconcile Sunday school with the real Bible, then you should read this book. The Bible is a combination of many things: *the product of thousands of years of folklore. *a bitter frustration with the Jewish captivity in Babylon and an attempt to make sense of it. *an ancient way of recording history (which is to say, not a history). *some beautiful poems. *some humorous tales. It is the last point that the author focuses on. There is humor in the stories of the Bible. Some or most of it is unintentional, but it is amazing what hindsight can do. This book condenses the narrative in a shocking or congenial way, depending on your point of view.

Historically, the book of Exodus treats of the deliverance of Israel from Egypt; but viewed doctrinally, it deals with redemption. Just as the first book of the Bible teaches that God elects unto salvation, so the second instructs us how God saves, namely, by redemption. Redemption, then, is the dominant subject of Exodus. Following this, we are shown what we are redeemed for-worship, and this characterizes Leviticus, where we learn of the holy requirements of God and the gracious provisions He has made to meet these. In Numbers we have the walk and warfare of the wilderness, where we have a typical representation of our experiences as we pass through this scene of sin and trial-our repeated and excuseless failures, and God's long-sufferance and faithfulness.
