In Heaven’s Answer to Earth’s Dilemma, Ben Gray lifts our sights immensely. He describes the vast scenario in which God’s people are called to honor and serve Him – not only in church, but also in every realm of life; indeed throughout the whole of creation. He startles and encourages us with the astonishing yet biblical claim that the whole of creation is longing for God’s people to come into their own – something many Christians have never considered or long-since forgotten. Ben Gray’s portrayal of the scale and scope of our calling goes far beyond that found in most Christian writings. He expands our horizons enormously. On the other hand this book is ‘applied theology’. He ‘earths’ the living out, as individuals and churches, of our exalted calling with very practical insights as to what this means in our marriages, families, workplaces, communities and nation. This book is extremely timely and greatly needed. It will spoil you forever for mediocre, domesticated, culturally-modified church. It should leave you trembling with wonder and excitement. And it gives clear direction as to the way forward for 21st century Christians. Gil Cann Minister-at-large, Australian Evangelical Alliance. Editor of ‘Working Together’ magazine, Australia |
