Review # 1 was written on 2014-12-09 00:00:00 David Arnold Michael Green is an extraordinary character and has an influential Christian ministry. In historical terms he would not be in same league as John Stott and Jim Packer when considering the revival of evangelicalism in the Church of England but he certainly has been someone who has been mightily used by God to bring Christian truth to many. He was a prolific author, theological education, parish minister and evangelist. Characteristically he has not waited for someone else to write up his life but taken the initiative himself. So we have his account mingled with his own trenchant observations- a sort of apologia pro vita mea. There are traces of humbleness and references to times of difficulty (not least in his marriage) but this approach does always give him the 'last word'on a spectrum of issues and controversies. He is a man who believes he is generally right. I was intrigued to read that he was a reluctant author; I am amazed at how many books of his I have read! I wonder if a younger generation would look at Green's life and ministry - especially the earlier part - as judge as belonging to a bygone age. That would be a pity. The work that he and his generation did for the Gospel changed the face of the Church of England.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-22 00:00:00 Kevin Taylor Brilliant book. Excellent analysis of the church in the UK, and what will be needed in the years ahead from a wise and godly leader. Recommended reading for all ministers.
