‘In the African continent where the church is growing so rapidly, and the need for strong Bible teaching is paramount, just imagine the great impact that Great Truths will have if it finds its way into the hands of all African pastors.’

Director, London Bible Academy, and former International Director, Langham Partnership
The gospel can be cast in both careful formal language as well as in everyday informal language. It is something that addresses and speaks to all of us, something that all of us can grasp hold of, understand, and relate to at whatever level we will. ... There is a comprehensiveness and an immensity to the Biblical good news. Yet all its elements are interlinked, gathered around a central strand, unified by a single person. ...
The first sentence of the Bible explains that God created both ‘the heavens and the earth’. This indicates that the environment that we inhabit is twofold. God’s world is comprised of two parts. The physical universe – ‘earth’ – has a counterpart in the spiritual universe – ‘the heavens’. There are then two distinct dimensions of created reality, two interlocking spheres, directly connected in some respects and more indirectly linked in others.
God’s life in himself is the fundamental condition of God’s work of creation. We start therefore with consideration of the identity and nature of the Creator, for biblical teaching about the act of creation grows out of what Scripture suggests about the perfect life of God. Clarity about the character of the Creator ensures that the relation between the Creator and his creatures is accurately represented.

‘The scale of the challenge we face is immense. My blessings and prayers are with Great Truths. I am eager to see it bear much fruit.’
‘Great Truths meets a vital need in an innovative and cost-effective way.’
‘Just imagine the impact this will have.’
‘Great breadth, depth, and clarity … very edifying … a delight.’
‘Enabling many to access good quality Biblical input which would otherwise be out of reach’
‘A magnificent project of the highest quality.’
‘I am thrilled to see Jeremy Marshall’s vision for Great Truths becoming a reality and I am eager to make its content available to the church in Eastern Europe. The exposition is fresh, stimulating, and accessible for pastors, theological students, and believers alike.’
‘The church in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere needs people who understand and can communicate Biblical truth. Only a limited few are fortunate enough to attend a Bible college or to get formal training. So the question becomes how do you reach the greatest number of people in the most accessible and efficient way possible and at zero cost to them. Great Truths aims to do just that.’
‘When you read and listen to the material and think about the size of the potential audience it is easy to get excited about the difference Great Truths can make.’
‘Great Truths has come at a crucial time for the Kale Heywet Church amidst our challenges and aspirations for advancing the gospel in Ethiopia. We hope it will be a pivotal moment that strengthens our efforts, including planting churches, equipping pastors and protecting God’s people from false teachings. We are thankful for these resources in Amharic and our partnership with Great Truths. We pray for Great Truths to be firmly established and impactful across Africa for God's greater glory.’
