title: The Stone That Became a Mountain: Getting it Right about the Kingdom of God
author: Richard Bewes
description: "In today's changing world, where nations rise and fall, leaders come and go, thrones are occupied and emptied, treaties are made and broken, and life itself seems so fragile, <i>The Stone that became a Mountain</i> is the telescope that brings into focus the unchanging, transcending kingdom of God. Well done, Richard Bewes!" (Anne Graham Lotz ~ Author, Evangelist and daughter of Billy & Ruth Graham)<br /><br />"The subtitle says it all: "Getting it RIGHT about the Kingdom of God". Bewes provides a popular exposition of the Bible's teaching on the vital theme of the Kingdom (or Reign) of God. Beginning with Daniel's vision of the stone cut out by the hand of God, which fills the whole earth, Bewes traces the unfolding of the Kingdom through to the glorious consummation depicted at the end of Revelation. Rightly the focus is on the King, Christ crucified and risen in victory. Bewes writes in a very readable style, with plenty of illustration and application, and this short book will give readers a good introduction to the "big picture" of God's redemptive purpose worked out through King Jesus." (David McKay ~ Professor of Systematic Theology, Ethics and Apologetics, Reformed Theological College, Belfast, Northern Ireland)<br /><br />"The Kingdom of God is a non negotiable in Christian understanding. Have you grasped it? Nothing else so clearly shapes Christian thinking. This is the book - laced with vivid illustration - to explain this essential Christian truth." (Rico Tice ~ Author, Christianity Explored & Associate Minister at All Souls Church, Langham Place, London)

  ### CHAPTER I. SAHARA LIMITED
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    
  
  
  Sir Robert Aylward, Bart., M.P., sat in his office in the City of
  
  
  London. It was a very magnificent office, quite one of the finest that
  
  
  could be found within half a mile of the Mansion House. Its exterior
  
  
  was built of Aberdeen granite, a material calculated to impress the
  
  
  prospective investor with a comfortable sense of security. Other
  
  
  stucco, or even brick-built, offices might crumble and fall in an
  
  
  actual or a financial sense, but this rock-like edifice of granite,
  
  
  surmounted by a life-sized statue of Justice with her scales, admired
  
  
  from either corner by pleasing effigies of Commerce and of Industry,
  
  
  would surely endure any shock. Earthquake could scarcely shake its
  
  
  strong foundations; panic and disaster would as soon affect the Bank
  
  
  of England. That at leas
