To many Christians the Old Testament is a mysterious document, a treasure hidden in the dust of antiquity. It is historical, it tells the story of ancient Israel but has it anything to do with me? Seeing the Big Picture is the story of one mans voyage of discovery. The Bible as a whole is the dramatic story of redemption, which comes to a climax in the New Testament. In every book of the Old Testament the theme of the coming of Christ is there, burning brightly like a lamp in the darkness, heralding the day when the glory of the Christ would burst majestically forth. Suddenly I saw that this was truly one story. It was almost as if someone had turned a light on. I could see things much more clearly and so many aspects of the New Testament study were brought into such clear focus that I understood as never before.
It is all about a Person, a rather amazing Person.Amazing Jesus will remind us why Christianity has survived more than 2,000 years and Jesus has more followers today than He has ever had. The most startling news of all was that God took on human form. God became a man and lived among men that we might see the glory of our Creator. God incarnate! Amazing! Not surprisingly, wherever Jesus went, the miraculous was sure to follow. He became known as the Miracle Man. Healings, water becoming wine, feeding the 5,000, walking on stormy seas. No wonder the crowds followed Him and many believed in Him. He called us to a totally different way of living. A way that has been recognized through the centuries as the finest way to live. It is characterized by loving kindness, consideration, emancipation. Look at the Jesus way and marvel at His wisdom. His death and resurrection continue to speak to people in the 21st century. Countless thousands embrace Him as Saviour and King. The empty tomb calls upon us to consider the Jesus story, and follow the evidence.
Evangelism in a Post-Christian Culture is the challenge facing the church today. Alastair Ferrie brings more than thirty years experience of preaching the gospel and sharing his faith. One of the greatest needs of the growing church is a training program for the whole church in evangelism. Those engaged in ministry will find this work invaluable, and those committed Christians in the pews will find this book a framework which will revolutionize their effectiveness in evangelism. Many Christians will admit to not knowing where to begin. This book explains and outlines an approach that can be used effectively in sharing the gospel. The material will also be useful for preaching and for use in Bible discussion groups. A companion volume to this work, Step-by-Step: Aftercare for New Christians is also published by iUniverse. Credit for Cover: Ray Ferrie The book begins with a discussion on worldview which explains the difficulty we often have in communicating the gospel with a world that has truly become post-Christian. A five fold foundational Christian worldview is put forward and contrasted with a Darwinian model so prevalent in the world today. This is followed by several chapters outlining an approach to evangelism based on the seven signs of John's gospel. "These things are written that you might believe." The book is rounded off with several chapters with the theme, "I believe because..." These are arguments that the author has presented in many home Bible studies to help people to see some reasons for believing. The world is constantly presented with reasons for NOT believing, and it is time for the church to step forward with some reasons for believing.
