Jesus is the master communicator. He is the best teacher, using the best technique to convey the most crucial content ever disclosed to man. Jesus reveals God's purpose for us; He also shows us how God interacts with man and how his [kingdom] system works. Jesus' ministry led up to, and continued to build on, the foundation of a specific explanation he gave of God and his system. This happened on a particular day - 'The Day God Explained Himself'. If we miss the significance of that day; and if we don't put sufficient emphasis on the value of Jesus' teaching on it, we could miss God's best for our lives. We could spend the bulk of our Christian walk on course askew from God's pathway. This in turn could lead to frustration, unproductive beliefs, religious self-effort, blaming God, or justifying fruitlessness. This book pinpoints the heart of Jesus' teaching. If we make this our focal point, the remainder of Jesus' teaching, his ministry and other New Testament writings will fall into place.

'Devil's Tor', first published in 1932, is the undoubted masterpiece of David Lindsay. Many of the extraordinary and disturbing themes of his first and most famous work, 'A Voyage to Arcturus' (1920), are explored more deeply and expressed more clearly in this book. The story describes the experiences and mental processes of various people drawn by an active Fate to Devil's Tor, a minor Dartmoor height. Lives are transformed, shattered and ended by forces that can remake stars and galaxies. Nowhere in printed English is the working of the Unseen in living minds more vividly drawn than in David Lindsay; and nowhere in Lindsay more magnificently than in 'Devil's Tor'.
