About this ebook
This was written by Isaiah over seven hundred years before the birth of Christ. It speaks of our unfulfilled desire for peace and the injustice and suffering of our age. This age was described by Isaiah as ‘all darkness and walking in deep shadows.’ Our search for light is blighted by hostility and lies. What happened when God himself gave his laws and a way to live to a people liberated from slavery? Did they enjoy peace and security? This book follows the biblical account and uncovers what really happened to them and the choice that today we all face.

Phil Hinsley was born in Barry, South Wales. He studied graphic art in Cardiff and moved to London to pursue a career in photography. Later he turned to portrait painting and exhibited at the Royal Academy, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the National Portrait Gallery. He worked for 25 years at a hospital for people with learning difficulties where he had a year out as their artist in residence. His murals were shortlisted for the Astra Arts competition in 1991. He now works for the site team of Watford Grammar School for Girls. He is married to Anne and they occasionally have gerbils. From 1968 he was a member of the Worldwide Church of God, and when they had a radical reordering of their teachings in 1993-4 he fully supported those changes and was later active in lay preaching and in the church’s evangelistic programme. However, he had serious questions over the type of evangelism he was required to do, believing that sin, God’s law and repentance needed to be addressed and finding, to his growing frustrating, that to point to our need for repentance was not allowed, rather, people were asked if there was anything they were going through that the church could pray about. This, to his mind, was neglecting their greatest need – to be right with God. This softer approach to evangelism struck him as only dealing with secondary issues and he strongly believed that it was not in line with the way that was consistent with what Jesus did – to be confrontational – to speak of sin, righteousness and judgment. Because of this frustration he left their fellowship and began looking for a church that had a more biblical approach to evangelism. After a few months he found it in a small local church which had been newly planted by a Grace Baptist pastor. Joining them he was soon involved with street ministry and going from door to door, but over a period of time he realised that he was not in agreement with some of their core teachings.
