They have destroyed God and have raised in his place the devil Satan to sit on the throne of God as God, calling himself God, even though he is not God and he has ruled creation onto destruction, decadence and death; causing the name of God to stink in the eyes of humanity. The devil Satan unleashes his evil atrocities on the Earth and the whole world blames God Jesus. And Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." The truth is here.

The scriptures say in "Hebrews 11:1-3 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it (faith) the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible". This faith is the currency we use to purchase things unseen. It's the power to convert dreams into reality, It's the telescope that connects to the eyes of God, It's the invisible blue print that produces a visible master piece, It's the bridge that takes us across into the promises of God, It's that secret unseen agent that can enter the inner courts of law to represent the unrepresented, Indeed faith is the evidence of things hoped for.

Journey through Struggles applies to church people and non-church people alike. Every man, woman, and child originates from the same God force; the Universal energy-source; and have in common the same - spiritual-human being-ness - uniquely formed by God who calls us individually (and collectively) into existence for His own purpose and pleasure. Every living soul experiences struggles. We share the same breath, the sunlight and rain, joy and pain; and are touched with unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind (of natural and man- created disasters) which caused echoes of cries of pain to reverberate in our hearts. However, though this book is written primarily with Black people as the target group [the reasons which no doubt will become clear throughout 'The Project', in God's grand design of his universe we should be mindful that all mankind have come short of the glory of God, therefore 'journey through struggles' also applies to every one of God's children, what ever his/her colour, culture, language or race, etc. On our 'Journey through Struggles' we are reminded that "The Road of Life" takes us on to highways of individual experiences. Therefore, let us remember that however long we might be in our storms, "It's the Journey that's Important, not just the getting there." Furthermore, our journey is ongoing, always. It is not just about climbing ladders to a higher level. In addition to the view 'as life's path' our journey may be viewed as a mountain; a forest, a beaten trail, our challenges and trials; or it may be a process of self discovery. Finally, when we reach the summit of our mountain, there we will make a wonderful and startling discovery that it's not the end of the journey. We are not just here to achieve our purpose; we are here to transcend it. In other words, when we reach the top of the mountain, we keep on rising. These are all ideas which we will come across time and again throughout this book.

The author of Not Counting Women and Children invites readers to listen again to the parables of Jesus. Like arrows, these stories pierce the heart of the listener, opening up new understanding of our lives as Christians. Interspersed with these familiar Gospel parables are other stories, traditional and contemporary, which draw the readers deeper into their challenges.

Who or What is controlling our lives? Western society is in the process of undergoing profound changes in moral ethos and in the structure of relationships as more and more areas of life are commodified. The Church is now having to grapple with the challenges to its authority-patterns posed by contemporary individualism, reductionism, consumerism and moral relativism, as the fierce debates over issues of abortion and sexuality show. This book seeks to address theologically the question of authority in terms of the poles of freedom and form. The tendency of each pole is to dominate. When freedom dominates we have chaos but when form dominates we have control (as exemplified in Islamic societies). Thus the choice facing the West looks like one between chaos and control. Bradshaw argues that this is a false choice. He suggests that Christ is the form for human freedom and diversity and that the Church has sufficient apostolic guides and practices to chart its way ahead in faith. The book maintains that Western, liberal, capitalist democracy needs to recover a Christian ethical basis to avoid the dangers of both chaos and of control.

This book is an insight into the life and thoughts of a busy priest, punctuated with frequent reminiscences and amusing stories. Some basic questions are touched on - the nature of God, the Trinity, his love for us and how Christ leads us to respond to this. This is an entertaining and yet profound book which shows Christianity as the answer to life's whys and hows.
