Description
God uses the analogy of a garden to illustrate that He doesn't want Christians to be isolated after they've been born again. Like a gardener, He wants to gather and plant them together in an organized garden setting. Likewise, God is a builder that brings individual stones together to form His house according to His own design. In this book, Brian Johnston traces the development of God's House in the Bible, and how it can still function today.

Recently, I heard a description of an evangelical sermon as 'thirty minutes to raise the dead.' This, of course, refers to the Bible's description of non-Christians as being 'dead in their sins' (Ephesians 6:1), in other words, as spiritually dead as a result of having no relationship with God, the giver of all life, and the desire of the preacher for the hearer to find new life in, and through, Jesus Christ.

In this short book, Brian Johnston explores two aspects of great spiritual movements:
1. The unseen movement of the Holy Spirit in the creation, the incarnation, the inspiration (of Scripture), mission (the gospel) and the foundation (of churches of God).
2. The movement of God to deal with the pride of Satan, which started before creation and will end with the Devil being thrown into the Lake of Fire, along with his angels and unbelievers.
