Heaven’s Answer to Earth’s Dilemma is a book that, for many, will become a reference point for years to come. It will certainly challenge us to think about the church and its place in all of society and also help release the power of re-imaging the future. But this is not a book that remains in the realm of concepts, nor at the level of historic critique. Ben also lays down very practical markers that serve as helpful signposts to the way forward. At the heart of the book is a recovery of biblical passion and mission. It reveals how we might live and breathe in a real hope that goes beyond that of seeing the restoration of apostles, to, as Ben says, the release and deployment of an apostolic company (the church) of grace-filled believers to accomplish their God-given assignments in all of life. This is a book written for this time and it will remain as a guide for the years ahead. Those two aspects are the marks of a prophetic piece of writing.

Ben Gray is a natural when it comes to breaking down biblical concepts and expressing their significance to the world today. His knowledge of the Word and depth of insight define his biblical worldview from which comes fresh revelation for the body of Christ.
Ben Gray has written an excellent book that helps renovate our ideas of what church is and how we were designed to engage in society … Here is an apostolic vision that points the way to a more fruitful future by grounding us in a more faithful past.
Ben Gray calls every believer in Christ in our day to recognize and fulfil their God-given vocational calling as kingdom people. I highly recommend Heaven’s Answer to Earth’s Dilemma.
In Heaven’s Answer to Earth’s Dilemma Ben Gray brings a thoughtful and balanced voice to the table. Eschewing the structural solutions that are all the rage, he calls instead for an incarnational church that hears God’s voice and seeks to engage and impact the bloodied world in which the church finds itself.
