Keswick Year Book 2017: Captivated: Hearing God's Word

by Alister Begg

Captivated: Hearing God’s Word (Keswick Year Book 2017)


We hear thousands of words every day, all vying for our attention. But what about God’s word?


The great reformer Martin Luther famously declared, ‘My conscience is captive to the Word of God’. What about us? What importance do we give to listening to God’s word and letting it shape our lives?


The 2017 Convention explored these questions, encouraging us to be captivated by God’s word so that, by his Spirit, we’d be transformed into Christ’s likeness, ready to serve him passionately wherever he’s placed us.


This Year Book includes a selection of talks given during the three weeks of Convention: Bible teaching from Alistair Begg, Michael Reeves, Daniel Strange, Andy Prime, Tim Chester, Roger Simpson, Steve Midgley and Martin Salter to help you hear and obey God’s word.

[Thomas Creedy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’ve been reading Keswick year books ever since I got a stack for a bargain price at LST’s wonderful bookshop in Northwood. These oft-overlooked little books collect the best parts of each year’s Keswick convention, gathering them under one cover in order to edify and encourage those of us who aren’t there. As someone who has not (Yet?) been to a Keswick event, I’ve appreciated these books as a source of helpful nuggets of encouragement and challenge. The 2017 edition, published earlier this year by IVP, is themed around ‘Captivated: hearing God’s word’. In the 500th anniversary year of the Reformation, this book includes a range of perspectives on what it might mean to be shaped by ‘sola scriptura’, echoing Luther’s great challenge that our consciences should be captive to God’s Word.
