There is no better way to escape the prejudices and blindspots of the church today than to study the lives of faithful Christians who have gone before us. In Witnesses to the Word, Victor Shepherd introduces us to fifty faithful servants of Jesus Christ. Some, like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed by Adolf Hitler, have given up their very lives for the sake of the gospel. Others such as C. S. Lewis and Soren Kierkegaard have laboured for the sake of the gospel in the academic, political and literary world. Still others such as St. Francis of Assisi have much to teach us what it means to renounce our wealth and serve the poor. As you get a glimpse of these real people living out their faith, you will thank God for Victor Shepherd and the years of work and prayer that make possible this valuable resource. I gladly commend it to growing Christians everywhere. Gary R. Walsh President, The Evangelic

Victor Shepherd

Everyone faces spiritual wilderness at some point in life: Transitions in life, vocational confusion, physical illness or loss of a loved one -- these and many other factors can drive us to a place where God seems distant or irrelevant. Those who wander through such difficult times without clear direction often find themselves spiraling down into a mess of doubt, self accusation, or depression. 
In Seasons of Grace Victor Shepherd shows us how to embrace the God of the Bible, who draws near to us in the midst of our inescapable wilderness and creates paths to life where none existed before. 
"Dr. Shepherd never pretends we can explain our lives by looking inward. Rather... we are directed to look outward -- to the One who keeps us. This is not a trendy pop psychology 'wanna be' bestseller, but rather a book that speaks a much more profound, useful and timeless truth." -- David Clarkson, M.D.

Many of us have questions about Jesus, but did you know that Jesus has questions for us? Indeed, as Victor Shepherd points out in this book, Jesus spent much of his ministry on earth asking his disciples questions rather than answering the questions on their agenda. Instead, he used questions as a way of reshaping and redirecting his disciples towards the Truth. This is not to say that Jesus dismisses our questions as trite. Yet because our hearts are corrupt, we are often asking the wrong questions. In this book, Victor Shepherd reflects on twelve important questions that Jesus asked, challenging us to reflect on the significance of these questions for us today and bringing these truths to bear upon our everyday lives. A pastor for more than forty years, Victor Shepherd now serves as Professor of Systematic and Historical Theology at Tyndale University College &amp; Seminary, Toronto, and professor ordinarius for the Graduate Theological Foundation, University of Oxford.
