One of the UK's finest young preachers has produced his first book. This is an evangelistic book of the highest quality, which seeks to listen to today's world and to God's Word, and to bring the two together for maximum impact. Vaughan Roberts is the Rector of St. Ebbe's, Oxford, and clearly has university students in mind as he writes; but all thinking people will soon find themselves wooed by the message of the gospel.

The premise of the book is that post-modern people long to know where they have come from and where they are going, but have lost hope of ever discovering - if indeed there are any answers to be discovered. So Roberts writes a history of the world in nine short chapters, each one focusing on a major turning point in the Bible's meta-narrative.
