I thought I'd done a proper blog about this before, but it seems not.

This is a book to read if you want your eyes opened and your mind expanded. This is a book to read if you're concerned about taking every thought captive for Christ. This is a book to read if you want to start to see things the way the Bible portrays them. This is a book to read if you feel bogged down in the world's way of thinking and you're looking for a way out.


Through New Eyes
James Jordan

You probably won't agree with every conclusion Jordan makes, but you'll have learned more things you didn't realise you didn't know than you thought possible. You'll read the bible through new eyes and you'll look at the world, yourself, and our great God through new eyes too.

Okay, here's a bit I just read that will illustrate the way Jordan works:

Why is this shell [i.e. the firmament described in Genesis 1] called “heaven”? Because the phenomena that appear in the sky are signs and symbols of things in the original heaven. Clouds remind us of God’s glory cloud. Rainbows remind us of the rainbow around His throne. Stars speak of angels. The sun speaks of Christ. The blue speaks of the heavenly sea before the Throne. And so forth.

I shall never look upwards to the heavens in the same way again!
