Recently, I heard a description of an evangelical sermon as 'thirty minutes to raise the dead.' This, of course, refers to the Bible's description of non-Christians as being 'dead in their sins' (Ephesians 6:1), in other words, as spiritually dead as a result of having no relationship with God, the giver of all life, and the desire of the preacher for the hearer to find new life in, and through, Jesus Christ.

In this short book, Brian Johnston explores two aspects of great spiritual movements:
1. The unseen movement of the Holy Spirit in the creation, the incarnation, the inspiration (of Scripture), mission (the gospel) and the foundation (of churches of God).
2. The movement of God to deal with the pride of Satan, which started before creation and will end with the Devil being thrown into the Lake of Fire, along with his angels and unbelievers.

The Kingdom of God is a concept found throughout the Bible but is not always easy to grasp. Jesus said that the kingdom of God was at hand, what did he mean by that, was it not at hand before and would it not be at hand in the future? What is the Kingdom of God today and who is a part of it?

In this book, Brian Johnston explains how the whole of the Bible (even the Law, the Prophets and the Writings of the Old Testament) have many important and revealing things to say about Jesus, in fact, that is the main reason it was written in the first place!

2. Sola Fide-Faith Alone!
3. Solus Christus-Christ Alone
4. Sola Gratia-Grace Alone
