A magnum opus at almost 100,000 words, this book is an indispensable in-depth study of the types and shadows (pictures) of Christ in Israel's High Priest under the Levitical Order of the Old Testament Tabernacle and Temple, and specifically how his work, person and clothing speak of Jesus as our Great High Priest on the throne of God. But this is far from a dry, scholarly endeavour; its meditations will make your heart soar in fresh appreciation of what God has so expertly revealed in His Word about His Son; and its challenges will help you consider afresh "how should we now live" in view of what God has revealed to us about His Son. Review published in Believer's Magazine: "This is a beautifully written and easily assimilated devotional study of the spiritual significance of the Old Testament High Priestly garments. Divided into 18 chapters plus introduction and appendix (on leprosy in the clothes and the house), it covers in detail each item of Aaron’s clothing with special attention to the stones of the breastplate. Assembly teachers of earlier generations wrote extensively in this area, not least men like Henry Soltau, Thomas Newberry, John Ritchie and A.J. Pollock. But this new paperback of 330 pages is stylishly produced modern approach, its text interspersed with coloured illustrations of the tabernacle and the High Priest in full regalia, as well as 38 apposite hymns and poems from a range of writers including J.M.S. Tait and the author himself.Garments for Glory promotes a commendably high view of the Lord Jesus, clearly affirming His impeccability, yet is also packed with down-to-earth practical applications. Those who appreciate typical study will find it richly heart-warming, but all who value books which foster worship without sacrificing doctrinal precision will benefit. It is ideal for Saturday evening reading." (David Newell)
