The Great Repair Job

God's Promise of Restoration for a Broken World

Beschreibung

Promises. Promises. Everyone makes promises. At weddings, baptisms, political rallies, in court, between nations. And how many keep them? God made a promise, in religious terms, a covenant. Can our broken world ever be fixed? Yes.Trusting in God's promises, "in the fullness of time" all of creation will be renewed, and the brokenness will be repaired. Like a silver thread, the covenant story runs through the whole Bible. If at times it is obscured by tales of love and war and acts of derring-do, it still carries on, hidden but unbroken, below the surface of the narrative. The author writes with serious passion, but often catches us with snippets of humour. She challenges us to reconsider many of the ideas that we may take for granted, and never shies away from difficult questions.

Autor

Anne Punton worked under the auspices of the Church of England with The Church's Ministry among Jewish People (CMJ) for 27 years, much of that time in Israel. Due to Multiple Sclerosis she took early retirement. As Anne's MS progressed, she became increasingly incapacitated. Only able to grasp a pen clumsily, by sheer willpower and belief in God's guidance, she painfully transcribed her thoughts onto pads of lined paper. She could not use a computer or a smart phone and had to depend on her brother, Laurence Dexter, to decipher her scrawl and bring the work to a stage where it could be submitted for publication. Anne was mentally fully alert and loved intense debate, but sadly, her beautiful sharp intellect began to decline, and she passed away before seeing her crowning work come to fruition. LAURENCE lives in Canada but managed to visit her in England three or more times a year. He helped Anne with many revisions of the original manuscript and wrote some small sections with her approval. Anne has written three other books, "The House that Jack Built", "View the Land", and "The World Jesus Knew".
