If we believe something to be true, we will make every reasonable effort to act according to that belief. That is the very reason for this book. The belief is that Jesus is the Christ, the One who will return and restore the earth where peace and prosperity can thrive. It would be a process of which no human mind would conceive and faith in it would be more valuable than gold. To that end Jesus commanded His followers to tell all the people of the world His message of hope founded in the kingdom of God. Not My Will is written as an integral part of that commission. It tells what God wants all people to know, to understand at least what He is offering in the hope that some will accept His invitation. It also acknowledges that the institutions of the church have often failed to live up to their stated high calling.

Not My Will is founded on four constituent parts which are necessary for understanding God and the redemption He offers humanity. Firstly, the essential components of belief and what the Bible teaches people to have faith in is discussed. Secondly, the things people are to know or understand as a result of those beliefs, and how this present age will come to a close is outlined to help form a biblical worldview. Thirdly, the transformative power that exists in the Gospel is explored. Fourthly, the nature of the Christian life built upon our beliefs, knowledge and transformation is examined. There is much more that could be said, but this is a comprehensive start for anyone who wants to know God and what He is requiring of people before this present age draws to a close.

It is an ideal book to give to people who are seeking to understand the Gospel message or from Jesus’ commissions’ perspective what they need to know. It is not written as a typical evangelistic text, it does not ‘dumb down’ Christianity, but assumes the reader’s ability to reason and critique. There is no attempt to market the Gospel, but to do as Jesus did and clearly state the inescapable cost that comes with the decisions that we make in this life for this life and the next.
