In the love David has for Saul we can see a faint but real foreshadowing of the love of Christ for us, even when we were his enemies. Saul was required by God to step down rather than become a better king, and to give way to David. In Not I, But Christ, Hession shows that the way to victory for us also is not in striving to be better people, but in allowing ourselves to be supplanted by Christ our true King.ENDORSEMENTS: "This is devotional writing of a very high quality, and few will read it without feeling both the challenge and the reassurance that flow from it. Roy Hession's own spiritual pilgrimage, with its strong reflection of the blessing of the East Africa revival, could not be better summarized than by his title. He does not ask his reader to go where he had not gone himself, often at much pain and sacrifice, but always issuing in joy; and he does not ask us to offer God anything but the sin from which we ask to be cleansed." Rev. David Winter, pastor, author, former Head of Religious Broadcasting for the BBC. "Roy Hession's work comes to us as a refreshing breeze in the midst of so much arid academic theology and bare biblical exegesis. His method may strike contemporary ears as unusual, but, as he himself says, "It is not the illustration that matters so much as the thing illustrated." And the emphasis is always on the proper thing illustrated: the astounding grace of God to lost and needy people. No one can come away from reading this book without being drawn back again to the well springs of joy found in the love and grace of our Lord Jesus." Rev. Dr. Noel Due, D.Min., pastor, author, visiting lecturer at Adelaide College of Ministries, Australia, and honorary teaching fellow at Highland Theological College, Scotland.

Is there more than romance to the story of Ruth? Roy Hession says "Yes!" Most of us have missed the subtle details that are key to understanding the significance of this heart moving book. We need a new vision of the blood of Christ and the grace of God to make the same daring claim on our nearest Kinsman as Ruth made hers. Come and learn about the restoration, revival and renewal promised in Ruth, until at last you hav the boldness to lie at the feet of your Kinsman with full confidence.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: What is the purpose of my life? This is the one question to which so many are longing to find the answer. When we turn to the Bible we find a clear and simple answer to this fundamental question: the purpose of life is to know, and to love, and to walk with God-that is, to see God. The remarkable central reality of Christianity is that God has made himself known in such a way that he is understandable, accessible, and desirable to the simplest and most fearful of us. He has done so in his Son, through whom he made the world and who, having humbled himself to take on our flesh and blood to redeem us from sin and death, has sat down at the right hand of his Father. That Son is Jesus. Nowhere else can we fully see God but in the face of Jesus Christ. The theme of We Would See Jesus is: JESUS. He has come to take us out of slavery to sin and self and to set us free to serve him in the freshness and spontaneity of the Spirit. Here Roy and Revel Hession show us that, if seeing God is life's purpose, then seeing Jesus is the answer. CHINESE DESCRIPTION: --
