  Walking with The Man - But not...

  Everald Compton first went to church ninety-three years ago when his mother Thelma took him with her to the Linville Methodists when he was just three weeks old. He has attended churches around the world on most Sundays ever since. 
  Over those years, he was initially a fundamentalist, but then has progressively moved on to be a traditionalist, modernist, liberal and reformer. 
  Now he is a working partner of Jesus the Man. 
  With the decline of Churches, plus the fact that fewer than 50% of Australians believe in God and the Australian Constitution contains no statement of community values, he has been motivated to write Walking with The Man. 
  He hopes that it will be read by many of the 90% of Australians who do not go to church and hopes to encourage them to adopt Jesus the Man as their role model for life without needing to go anywhere near a church. 
  His book outlines his journey through life, and offers sixty-five sub-chapters about leaders who have inspired him along the way. It outlines a challenging pathway to a meaningful life in partnership with The Man which millions of responsible citizens can embrace positively. 
  Everald is the author of five books and is a lifetime elder and lay preacher of the Uniting Church in Australia. He was awarded the Order of Australia twice and is a recipient of the Centenary Medal. He is also a Certified Practising Accountant and Certified Practicing Marketer, and has served as an adjunct professor at three universities. 
  Everald's faith inspired him to become the founder of National Seniors Australia, the Inland Railway, St Andrews Hospital in Brisbane and Compton Gardens at Aspley. 
  He lives in Brisbane with his wife Helen where they enjoy sixty-six years of marriage. Their four children, eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren live in Australia, Britain, and USA.

  The Real Christ

  While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. (Matthew 17:5)The Christ many preach and write about is not the real Christ. The Christ of many Evangelical, Protestant, and Catholic churches today is not the actual Christ Jesus who once walked this earth and whom men saw and studied and knew – the Christ who was the incarnate Word of God and the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. He is not the Christ who once lived and died and was raised again. The Christ many talk about today is a pure figment of their own imagination which they have substituted for the actual Christ of history, the Christ who once lived here on earth and who now lives in glory. There is, however, a perfect portrayal of the real Christ, the Christ of actual fact, in all of His many  characteristics and complete love, holiness, zeal, and glory. That portrait is from God’s own Word, the Bible. It is found in the preview of the coming Christ given to the Old Testament prophets, and in the life, ministry, and words of the Lord Jesus Christ as He actually moved among men, as documented by His disciples in the books of the New Testament.We have a threefold objective in studying the real Christ:1. That we may see Him in all His moral glory: The glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth, and we may therefore admire and love and glorify Him as we ought.2. That we may become like Him when we see Him, or as 2 Corinthians 3:18 puts it: We all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.3. That in Him we may have a standard for our own conduct, or as John puts it in our third text: He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked (1 John 2:6).

  The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the best-attested facts of history. But believing in the resurrection is one thing. Knowing what it means is another. Although much has been written about the apologetics of the resurrection, little has been written about its theological meaning. This book reveals the hidden depths of the theological significance and ongoing relevance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ for our being, our salvation, Christian life, ethics, and our future hope.
