______________
‘The various chapters are written in the author’s characteristically clear and concise style and include solid Bible exegesis and illustrative stories, many of the latter humorous, and some solemnly searching and intensely personal. Chapter 4 contains a masterly account of the story of God’s people from Joseph to Jesus’s birth which very effectively roots the questions and incidents before and after in the unfolding of God’s Covenant and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the last chapter, the author notes how common it is for us to look for answers in the wrong places. He cites one of his students who erased his correct answers in an exam and copied his neighbor’s wrong ones (p. 47)! That reminded me of a preaching practicum in Philadelphia, where the professor noted that the sermon of the day was “remarkable” in that the student had first proclaimed a serious error as truth, later corrected himself and, still later, “corrected” his correction and reaffirmed his original error! Read this book, discuss its content with others – and there will be no danger of either not being clear on the issues or of not looking in the right places for the answers! Actually getting the facts on the above seven big questions will deepen your thinking and profit your soul! Very warmly recommended indeed!’ Jane Keddie
