The heart, the priority and the concern of Christ are revealed in John 17 as He prays His last prayer. His final words are for all who will bear witness of His glory after His crucifixion. His church became His priority. All of Christ’s glory and salvation are to be demonstrated by His church. There is no Plan B. This is what the ministry of Open Doors is all about and this is what this book is all about. In this book you will find heaven’s answers to a dilemma that supersedes our knowledge of today’s looming crises. This well-timed, well-researched and well-written book is a must for every church and every believer. It explains God’s purpose for His church – to bear witness... and reflect God’s glory. As Ben rightly promotes: ‘The world is waiting for such a church; it’s been waiting far too long. You are that church – the new ekklesia – the church unlimited!’ (p 105).

Ben Gray clearly argues the case for the need for Christians to think and live from a Hebraic Biblical worldview. If Christians are to impact the spheres of creation there needs to be a significant shift from the thinking of the Greek worldview … Heaven’s Answer to Earth’s Dilemma is a must read.
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.
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.
[Heaven's Answer] 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.
