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.
I really appreciated Jones' enthusiastic interpretations of Paul's letter to the Philippians, and the ways he sought to make it relevant for the modern reader. I was personally challenged on many points. The book was a little slow going, though, and required a bit of persistence. Jones takes his time working through his material, and I found that many chapters bordered on uninteresting for the most part, until I would hit some gem of insight that made the whole thing worthwhile. Here is a man who loves the God, the Bible, and the life lived for Jesus.
