About the author

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London. Lloyd-Jones was strongly opposed to Liberal Christianity, which had become a part of many Christian denominations; he regarded it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to leave their existing denominations. He believed that true Christian fellowship was possible only amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was married to Bethan Lloyd-Jones

Reviews

[Joshua Reisner · Rating 5 out of 5]

"...what hope is there for man? It is here, it seems to me, that is seen the unique message of the Christian faith. It is not merely good advice, it is not mere morality or ethics, nor is it simply a higher view of life. It is a doctrine that gives due place to the real nature and state of mankind. To use biblical terminology, it declares that a man can be 'born again,' that there can be a radical change in a man's soul. He can become a new man. It is amazing, but it is true."

I liked this book, but sometimes it got into the weeds. It is a helpful application of the Bible and its principles to the medical profession. As a former physician and pastor, Lloyd Jones is well qualified to address this matter.

Excellent book. Even though many of his discourses were given in the late 1970's, early 1980's it is still pertinent for today.
