Reseña del libro "Men God Moved - Books 1-3: Grace in 1 Peter, The Apostle Jude's Tripod and Boaz: Ruth's Redeemer, Bridegroom and Lord of the Harvest (en Inglés)"
BOOK 1 - GRACE IN 1 PETER: "Tracing the grace of God in Peter's first letter is like seeing the glory of God in Romans and the greatness of God in Hebrews." In this deeply practical book, Andy takes us through each of Peter the rough fisherman's 5 chapters, and introduces us to the manifold grace of God expressed in at least 11 different aspects:1. GRACE REQUIRED IN AN UNGRACIOUS MAN; 2. GRACE RESTORED IN OUR MISTAKES; 3. GRACE RECEIVED IN THE GOSPEL; 4. GRACE REGARDED IN WORSHIP AND WITNESS; 5. GRACE REINFORCED IN TRIALS; 6. GRACE RECIPROCATED IN MARRIAGE; 7. GRACE RECOGNISED IN HOLINESS; 8. GRACE REVEALED IN SPIRITUAL GIFTS; 9. GRACE REFLECTED IN LEADERSHIP; 10. GRACE REGAINED IN BIBLICAL TRUTH; 11. GRACE RE-EMPHASISED IN PAUL'S LETTERS; BOOK 2: THE APOSTLE JUDE's TRIPOD - The apostle Jude's little letter can easily be read within five minutes, yet it spans eternity past and future, history and prophecy, blessing and judgment, past revelation and fresh revelation, things known and not known, heaven's glory and hell's grief. And, like all Scripture, it has a God-given relevance for us in the present day: * for reproof - showing when we are off track * for correction - helping us to get back on track* for instruction - enabling us to keep on track. As Jude wrote his little book, it's as if he did so with the mindset of a surveyor, scanning the worrying spiritual landscape in front of him - 19 times in his short letter, Jude moves his surveyor's 'tripod' of threes to drive his point home. In addition to exploring each of these, Bible teacher Andy McIlree unpacks each verse across seven key themes of Salutation, Salvation, Contention, Condemnation, Revelation, Benediction and Doxology. This is a very enlightening and practical study of a little understood, under-appreciated and often forgotten part of our New Testament.BOOK 3: BOAZ - RUTH'S BRIDEGROOM, REDEEMER AND LORD OF THE HARVEST: "The events of the book of Ruth are like a jewelled cameo woven into the fabric of Israel's chequered background. The account of Ruth's arrival on the pages of God's Word is an interweaving of His grace, His call - so typical of His reaching out to Abraham, Rahab, and to Gentiles - and His purpose. So, during Israel's dull days, she is like a colourful butterfly emerging from a very drab chrysalis. There is no shallow end to the story of Ruth, as depths of despair at the beginning lead on to deepening delight, which causes us to exclaim, "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!"Join Bible teacher Andy McIlree in this heart-warming study as, chapter by chapter, he explores the depths of this wonderful Old Testament book, and in particular how Boaz is a picture of the Lord Jesus as our kinsman-redeemer, bridegroom and the Lord of the harvest.
