Surely the answer to this dilemma is centered around the question, ‘how can the church of Jesus Christ become more that incarnational body of believers, that was begun in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, that wonderful grace-filled movement that was begun in the life of the Son of Man.' How can this movement once again hear more clearly His voice and be willing to engage with its inheritance in Christ to impact the world in which it finds itself?
My recent book essentially enables the reader to chart out preparations for the remaining years before the return of the Bridegroom. It's written in an easy-to-read style and as many have affirmed it is a must-read tool for anyone who is serious about end-time issues and who wants to respond to the warnings of Matthew 24 and 25 with competence and diligence. It is the understanding of many who research the different moves of God that we are seeing several notable criteria that tell them of a coming move of God that is unlike anything ever experienced since the days of the early church. They are saying that the ‘signs' are all in place, and we are about to enter the most challenging era ever faced by the people of God. The virus of Platonic (Greek) thinking (that of dividing life, work and worship) is endemic within the church today. By and large we are still separating the sacred from the secular - but at the same time God is challenging us with His worldview - to think with His mind and to adjust our ways of addressing the issues of the day - but from His perspective. You see I firmly believe that God has a divine purpose for His creation, He always has, and that each person needs to be equipped and released into this kingdom-minded pursuit. My book, Heaven's Answer to Earth's Dilemma, and its companion book - Obtainable Wisdom, are essentially about this pursuit - that has as its main focus, a revolution of grace in the earth. Not only is it a revolution of God's grace, but also when you read the book Heaven's Answer, you will see that it's really about a celebration of God's grace in the earth and all creation. Heaven's Answer declares that God's people are called to honor and serve Him in every realm of life. Through significant use of Scripture my book helps people understand what God is saying to His church in this hour. They will also discover a great deal about themselves - their vocation, their calling and how to be part of this grace revolution in their own way, in their own culture and life situation. Heaven's Answer - you see - is not just another marketing rebrand of a worn out formula or some structural solutions or strategy in how to "do" church or build a bigger personal following or ministry. As a number of recognized international Christian leaders have already said, this book offers new thinking on how to "be" church - and that if the people like you and I become active practitioners of the paradigm explained in it - we will be on the vanguard of real societal transformation. Friend, this book and study guide have the power to change your life - and your ministry - forever! That's a promise. I've seen scores of people changed already because of its life transforming paradigms. I am passionate about God and I'm equally passionate about people knowing their part in God's divine purpose. Heaven knows the answer to earth's dilemma and Heaven demands that we, as the body of Christ, take hold of and become that answer to the cry of a waiting creation.

Throughout history the Lord has raised up radical voices of reformation to challenge the church and to shift us out of our complacency. Ben Gray is one of those voices, and I pray that many outside of his native Australia will listen to his clearly prophetic message.
Ben sets forth a revelatory strategy for kingdom advance, tempered by insights gained through his extensive relationships with world-class apostolic leaders. This work … will mobilize the church before the second coming of Christ.
Ben Gray convincingly argues that, rather than functioning as an institution that scarcely exists outside its own walls, God intends for His church to be an ‘apostolic company’ that fulfils His creation mandate by living out the gospel in every sphere of society; marriage, family, work, tribe and nation.
Ben Gray brings careful insight and powerful revelation to his teaching and exhortation. Heaven’s Answer To Earth’s Dilemma is a passionate wake-up call to the church to embrace necessary change in order to come into all that God has planned for it at this moment of strategic opportunity.
