'An excellent devotional tour to the zenith of Old Testament prophesy, with an appeal to both heart and mind in every chapter.'

No one could ever accuse RT Kendall of sugar-coating the gospel and, in this distillation of a series of sermons given by him at Westminster Chapel, he presents the bald and wonderful truths of the Bible with his usual down-to-earth economy of style. Taking Isaiah’s ability “to see seven-hundred years in advance, by the power of the Holy Spirit, what the Messiah would be like, what He would do for us and why,” RT discourses with equal clarity on the simplicity of the salvation message and the theology of substitutionary atonement – all of it plainly and understandably written. Interspersed with dry humour and examples from his own life, he explains Isaiah 53 in a way that leaves the reader in no doubt of their need for and dependence on the blood of Jesus, the revelation of the Holy Spirit and the unanswerable sovereignty of God. An interesting and instructive read for Christians at almost any level of maturity as well as a good present for those as yet unsaved but hovering on the brink.
