The author is an Anglican minister and evangelist based in the United Kingdom. Australian by citizenship he is a younger man and makes as much use as he can of the internet in order to present the gospel of God. In this book he does a good job of opening up the whole subject of the God the Trinity, man as God created, the fall, the salvation that is in Christ Jesus and the Christian Life. He does so in a way that is readable and geared for an honest seeker. I am sure that some will find that they do not run with him in all of his statements but the overall presentation is one that could be given to those we want to introduce God and His gospel to. Those who have no prior knowledge of Christ and whose thoughts of the church would be tainted by the caricatures prevalent in the world at large will find that this author faces most questions that would be raised fairly and squarely. Christianity is pictured as a house and 321 is the author’s effort to take the reader on a kind of tour of the house. It is impossible to know what the house is all about from the outside, so, let us go inside, tour the various rooms of ‘truth,’ and consider the grace and beauty of God’s will and way in Christ Jesus for mankind. I do not think anything necessary to the ‘tour’ is avoided here, none of the more difficult questions are ducked. All in all this is a useful resource. Maybe it will go into things too deeply for some unused to the discipline of reading. For those ready to go a section at a time, they will be led into the House of God in a good way.
