Is there meaning to life?
Is human history a random process going nowhere?
Or is it under control - heading towards a goal, a destination?
And what about my life? - Where do I fit into the grand scheme of things?

These are topical questions in any age, but perhaps particularly so in a largely disillusioned post-modern era such as ours. Vaughan Roberts addresses these questions and others as he looks at what the bible presents as the 'turning points' in history, from creation to the end of the world.

This book does not read like a normal history book. No mention is made of the great battles and emperors of whom we learnt at school. It will not help you pass exams or score extra marks in a pub quiz.

It aims to do something far more important, to help you see history as God sees it, so that you might fit into his plans for the world.

Other Info
'Racy and profound, brilliant and Biblical, this book is a powerful apologetic and magnet to Jesus Christ. Vaughn gets right inside contemporary emptiness and despair and speaks good news into it with charm and clarity. Nothing on the market is better calculated to reach thoughtful people, students and others in an age that has lost its moorings.'
- Michael Green, Advisor in Evangelism to the Archbishops of Canterbury and York.

'If Christianity seems alien or inaccessible to you, this book is for you. Vaughn Roberts outlines some of the major "turning points" of the Bible. Better yet, he does so in an attractive way that is free of Jargon. I warmly recommend it.'
- Don Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Vaughn Roberts is Rector of St Ebbe's Church, Oxford. He has worked extensively with students and is a frequent speaker at University Christian Unions, and at conventions such as Word Alive and Keswick. He is a keen sportsman.

Good for its intended audience
Review by Eric Morgan | 12.10.2009

Well written and presented, it takes an intellectual approach to the facts of the gospel, and deals with the issues in a logical, coherent sequence. There's a wealth of material here, which may put an undergraduate searching for a quick answer off. However, it's well worth a read and promotes serious thought.

A book for the thoughtful enquirer with a good education.
