"To clasp the hands in prayer is the beginning of an uprising against the disorder of this world."

The contemporary Christian world is ablaze with gargantuan problems disease, war, terrorism, hunger or rather starvation. Where is the glory of God in all this? What about the dismal prospects of the eighties? What of the collapse of economic and social orders? What does the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory mean for Christian life today?

Jan Lochman tackles these serious questions and offers an enlightening view of the hope, peace, and solace available to Christians who understand the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory of God.

Out of his life, his passion, his belief in the Bible he enables Christians to confront and understand the awesome grace and power of the Almighty. He opens for us a dimension that cannot be closed by physical, moral, or social oppression. His work stands as a testament to one Kingdom, Power. and Glory.
