<p>Obadiah, Nahum and Zephaniah are probably among the least-read books of the Bible, and rarely preached. However, Gordon Bridger encourages us to study and apply these three Old Testament prophets for several compelling reasons. As part of Scripture, endorsed by Jesus, they claim to bring a message from God, and teach us some major truths: the importance of focusing on God, who is personal, sovereign, righteous and loving; of facing up to sin and judgment; of responding in repentance and faith; and of the hope of future salvation and restoration. They also relate to the real world, in touch with the social and political issues of their day (the seventh century BC), as well as spiritual and moral issues: sleaze amongst political leaders, unfaithfulness of religious leaders, national and personal pride, crimes against humanity and persecution of God's people. Hence, these challenging books tackle themes and issues, expounded here with clarity and conviction, which are especially relevant to today's church and world.</p>

The Man from outside

Inter-Varsity

A personal, perceptive, witty and sometimes very funny account of living and working in countries as diverse as Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Ethiopia, Chile, Tonga, Bolivia, Fiji, the Maldives, Tanzania, Australia, Gilbert and Ellice Islands and many others. Besides providing a fascinating account of the many countries he lived in with his family, the book also includes an insight into what it was like living as a privileged member of the United Nations. Not only does the book cover such personal hair raising experiences as being required to steer a 10,000 ship across the Atlantic, and his wife having to drive through a military coup in Addis Ababa waving a white flag made from one of her pillow cases, but it also provides an insider's experience of working for international and national aid agencies. Finally it also explains how he ended up as Mayor of Guildford.
