This review is from: A Nation Under Wrath: Studies in Isaiah 5 (Paperback)

This is one of those books once you start, you can't put it down. This is a problem of all the author's books. This book consists of nine messages the late D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preached at Westminster Chapel thirty-six years ago. Israel was warned by prophet Isaiah of the coming wrath from God if they did not heed Isaiah's message. From reading this book, it is not difficult to imagine the effect these sermons had on the author's congregation. This is because the reader cannot help but think Dr. Jones is directing the sermons to him or her. Dr. Jones shows his congregation that the names and places have changed, but the message is the same because the sins are the same. He points out the solutions are also still the same. As Isaiah warned Israel of God's coming wrath, so Jones warned England and the United States thirty-six years ago. This book is still valid today. The author shows the places and names have changed again, but the sins and the solutions have not. The author points out what is right and wrong is subjective to each person in today's world. And God still holds each person accountable. Dr. Jones does not let anyone off the hook because he knows God will not let anyone off the hook. Dr. Jones' call to hear and obey God then as today, is the only thing standing between the us and the wrath of God. The wrath of God will still come, it is just a question of when, and on whom. This subject is avoided today, but those who seek the truth will get it from the author. This book is a must read.
