Book Description<\/h2>\n

In his book, A Great Gulf Fixed<\/em>, Brownlow North describes divisions which are deep and wide exist both within and between nations. The greatest of these is probably that between rich and poor because it translates into the gulf between the powerful and the oppressed, the educated and the illiterate, the well-fed and well-housed and the starving of the world’s shanty towns. It creates a happiness on the one hand and a misery on the other. However, there is a division which goes deeper and runs further even than this. It results from the way in which people of all ages and places relate to the Word and Kingdom of God. In terms of it, the rich may be poor and the poor, rich and while gospel riches may not obliterate the wretchedness of life below, they will not result in endless woe in the world beyond but eternal bliss. Are you really rich? Or are you really poor?<\/p>\n
