The Awakening

back to Issue 8

“Adam and Eve were just like us. They had a susceptibility to temptation, to selfishness, and to rebellion against God. But they were ignorant of their situation.

And so God set about waking them up from their stupor.”

John Launchbury

John was born in Birmingham, baptized in North London, married in Oxford, had children in Glasgow, and (just recently) became “Opa" in Portland, Oregon. In Bible study, he seeks to make the complex simple, while still retaining the majesty and impact. He loves praise songs, especially if he also gets to play his 12-string or bass.
