As we search the scriptures, there are so many references and examples of what God wants to do within his church. However, comparatively, so often little of that seems to be happening. In that situation it is common to rationalise God's promises down to explain or excuse our leveled ineffectiveness. The better course would be, by faith to lift our expectations up to what God's Word declares should be so, to wait upon him for his vision for what he wants us to become and then to continue to wait upon him to discern how he wants us to proceed. This book is about "vision," what it is, how we get it, what place it plays and how to implement it. It is a missing component in many Christians. The author, Dr Stuart Robinson, is the Founding Pastor of Australia's largest Baptist Church. Before that he worked for fourteen years in South Asia where he pioneered church planting among Muslims. "The Promise Of Vision will help you to be a good listener to God's voice. It will stretch your faith as you seek to follow His vision for you, to do far more than you can now see." Rev. Dr Ian Hawley, Senior Pastor, Swanston St Church Of Christ - Melbourne

Christianity faces its greatest challenge yet - the rapid spread of Islam in almost every country. The purpose of this book is to alert leadership, to inform the Church and others, and to inspire God's people to action. It relates what Islam is doing, why this is so, and how God is responding. It shows how God's people may successfully face this challenge with confidence. The author, Stuart Robinson, was formerly the Senior Pastor of Crossway in Melbourne. Before that he worked for 14 years in South Asia where he pioneered church planting among Muslims. He now travels extensively as a speaker at conferences. He is the author of several books including: - Defying Death: Zakaria Botross - Apostle to Islam; The Prayer Of Obedience; The Challenge Of Islam. He graduated from the Baptist Theological College of Queensland, the University of Queensland, the Melbourne College of Divinity and Fuller Theological Seminary. Stuart was born in Brisbane and is married to Margaret. They have three married children.
