When Jason Murfitt was a young tree surgeon, he was confronted by his boss who was curious about Jason's confidence in the Bible and his desire to risk everything to go and tell the Amazonian river-people in Brazil about his encounter with God, and how they, too, could enjoy the hope of glory.
Join Jason as he looks back at ten diverse men and women whose encounters with God also changed their lives, in time, and for eternity. Christian fathers like Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, John Bunyan, and Jonathan Edwards, who sought answers to the most-asked questions. Then there's Little Richard who left behind a life of drugs and partying to become a preacher. Francis Chan, whose tragic life became overwhelmed with joy. A former teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle who became a pastor and world-renowned podcaster. A humble couple of jungle-dwellers who remind us of the simplicity of real church-life. And Joni, a paraplegic for almost sixty years, whose Christian walk will leave you hungry for Heaven.
As Jason weaves between their testimonies, he seeks to present answers to many of the most commonly asked how and why questions of the Christian faith. And if you already know Christ, this book will equip and excite you to go and find others to give them the reason for your hope of glory.
Advance Praise for Hope of Glory
This book is the product of knowing God and serving God. May it also fulfill our Savior's prayer in the lives of each reader 'that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent' (John 17:3).
Geoff Fox, Elder
Haven Church, Gorran Haven, Cornwall
This book explains vitally important spiritual truths like judgment and salvation and illustrates these truths by showing how God has worked in the lives of people of faith. The book makes it clear that all of us will one day meet our Maker and that now is the time to seek God's kingdom...I hope that every reader will discover hope in salvation and God's glory.
Professor Stuart Burgess, BSc, PhD, CEng, FIMechE
Author of over two hundred scientific papers on design in engineering and nature and author/co-author of over ten books on Creation
Jason Murfitt is a man on a mission, and this book reveals his passion...The great theme of this book is God Himself and the way He graciously meets us in the midst of our daily lives, which are often complicated and troubled. He introduces us to a wide range of people who have all experienced God's grace and love in Jesus and who are looking forward to being with Jesus in Heaven.
Peter Milsom
Former Chairman for the British Evangelical Council, Director of Affinity, and Director of UFM Worldwide and current Associate Consultant for UFM
Here is a book to encourage and challenge. Jason writes with clarity and warmth, pointing us to our Savior. Accounts of the famous, historical, and ordinary speak of the power of the gospel in salvation. I warmly recommend Hope of Glory.
Daryl Jones
Mission Director of Grace Baptist Mission
In this evangelistic book, Jason presents a concise and accessible defense of the Christian faith, ideal for those who are skeptical or just curious to learn more. Jason winsomely challenges the reader with key tenets of biblical teaching about the character of God, the gospel, and practical Christian living. He skillfully weaves together words of testimony from a range of sources as he makes his case-from St. Augustine to Little Richard-and vividly draws upon his own experiences as a missionary in the Brazilian rainforest. Warmly recommended.
