The Kingdom of God

A bit of a heavyweight by today's standards, however there is humour and compassion in between.Quote from page 37 - "It is supposed to be the affluent age, I know, but at the same time the age of anxiety, the age of strain, the age of frayed nerves, the age of complexes. It is inevitable. The modern age is proing the rightness of our Lord's teaching."The sermon was written c. 1963. 50 years later the sermons Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones still ring true.

You need to understand that the original transcript has been lightly edited. So at some points there can be repitition consistent with public preaching. However those familiar with MLJ will naturally hear his voice as they read each sermon. The remarkable thing is how fresh and relevant the message sounds despite dating from fifty years ago. Truly timeless and highly recommended.

This is a collection of sermons and lacks a centring narrative. ML-J is a great and clear communicator but this book didn't land because it was not written as a book and does read like written sermons. Although recently published it feels dated.
