In thinking about the contents of these books, which I believe God led me to read, then seeking the Lord for inspiration, three booklets grew in quick succession. "The Good News", a testimony of how the Lord has guided me since becoming a "real" Christian. "Where did we go wrong?", how we as Christians and a church have moved far away from God; and "Reformation and the church", about what Christians and the church have neglected and forgotten over the years. To truly know and experienced the full, entirely powerful glory of God, His awesomeness brilliance in appearance and the mighty God, Who performs miracles. In the UK, we have lost and indeed many have never experienced the total magnificence of God and we need to discover this again to fully empower Christians to reveal God to the world.
In this book, I have tried to give you a flavour of what the Lord has shown me in the books I've read, and especially in the Bible, God's inspired word to the world, together with the booklets, God inspired me to write. I have called the book "Who Cares" with a subsidiary title "Is there a God who cares for you?" Outlining what I have experienced of God leading me over the 40 years, since I first became a Christian. It has not always been easy, sometimes wondering if God is there, if He is real, but looking back over the years, I realise the answer has to be yes. God is real, because I have met Him and heard from Him. He has guided me in difficult times and healed me of sickness, led me to places I would not have thought to go, brought me to meet some amazing people and on occasions given me a glimpse of His Glory. These things I would like to share with you to encourage you to seek more of God, on your continued walk with Him, so you can have a greater experience of His Majesty but even more, come to know His great love for you.
The book is attempting to answer three questions. Firstly "Is there a God who cares?", giving some answers to those who have doubts or disbelieve. And showing through the life of one man, a family then a nation, whom God chose to reveal Himself to, that He exists and has a purpose for him and all mankind. Secondly "a God Who cares for you," in telling of how God has shown in my life how he cares for me, can help you to also know how much God cares for you. Thirdly "How God cares for the people of world, by seeing how the Church began and more specifically how the Church grew in the UK. Finally I try to answer the question "Where have we gone wrong?" and suggested how this might be put right. I used the term Church, because most people have an understanding of what is meant by that, but in fact the word Church is really relating to the people, not building.
I pray that as you read this book, it will inspire you and many others to also see the way forward for the Church in the UK, that this nation will again became the people God intended us to be, reaching out to the people of the world with the love God has for us.
