Product Description
Nehemiah the Sabbath Reformer is a devotional book which recounts the exciting story of Nehemiah and the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem under intense opposition. Despite threats, accusations and intimidation, Nehemiah and the people resolutely worked to repair the walls of the city, trusting in God for safety. The story has deep spiritual lessons for God's people at the end of time when they will be called to repair the breaches made in the law of God. Although the walls have been damaged the foundations remain; a work of reformation will restore the Sabbath which is the biggest hole that has been made in the wall of God's law. The last two chapters discuss the origin of the Sabbath and the moral law and how this relates to the gospel.
About the Author
Marc Rasell was born in Oxford and grew up in a countryside village in Oxfordshire. He became a member of the Anglican Church at about the age of 12 where he heard the Word of God. He was convicted that he was a sinner in need of the sacrifice of Jesus. He later went on to become a Seventh-day Adventist after accepting the Sabbath truth and studying about Biblical prophecy. He studied at Newbold College, Bracknell and received a BA in Theology and then an MA in Religion, accredited by Andrews University. Following that, he spent a year in South Korea teaching English as a foreign language and taught some Bible lessons. While he was in South Korea he got married and returned to England. He eventually found employment with the church and worked for a couple of years at the Adventist Discovery Centre office in the British Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in Watford. He was then called by the church to work as a ministerial intern and then as a licensed minister for the South England Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in East Anglia and then Cornwall. He is currently serving as an elder of the Bodmin Seventh-day Adventist Church and as a full time self-employed colporteur (literature evangelist) selling church books on health, the Bible, and children's stories. He lives in Cornwall and has three children.
