There is a clear structure to the message that flows from the text, interesting illustrations and searching application. Overall the content is doctrinally rich, clear and deeply nourishing.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Alexander is at his best describing the character of God and especially God\u2019s greatness, holiness and faithfulness. However there are gems all through the book \u2013 every elder should read \u2018the four laws for Christian service\u2019 and every believer will benefit from \u2018the purpose of the church.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mr Alexander is a retired minister in the Church of Scotland.
