Rod HolmesRod Holmes is an Australian pastor who hails from the bush yet is equally comfortable in the city provided he can grow a few fruit trees and have a lawn to mow. He has been a High School Science teacher in both wheatbelt and urban settings. Rod and hs wife Nerida who now have three adult sons were both missionary teachers in Bolivia where they came to appreciate the Latin American people and culture. Rod has been a pastor since 1999 in Western Australia and more recently in the Northern Territory. He has served among the Baptist and Churches of Christ denominations yet also has an occasional brief return to the Science classroom. In his time as a pastor he has observed many cultural church shifts which he unpacks in this book. His heart is for both the life as well as the words of Christ to be sought as he who loves Christ will also obey his words. His desire is for God's people to overflow with the joy of the Lord as they share the light of the truth of the gospel with those who live in spiritual darkness. Read More Read Less
