The Authority of the Believer urges the faithful Christian to take utmost mindfulness in their deeds and words, that their closeness to the Lord be soundly affirmed each day. A sublime series of reflections upon what it is to be a good Christian, The Authority of the Believer gives the receptive reader much to contemplate. Reflecting on many of the greatest lessons and deeds depicted in the Bible, together with experiences in his won life, John MacMillan shows us just how powerful and capable a true believer in God can be. Faith, purely held and defended against the temptations and distractions of life, is a tool of immense use - the power of Christ and the heavenly Lord can serve as a great support; thus, the Authority of the Believer. John A. MacMillan was a Canadian politician and a preacher who spent his younger years as an emissary to the Chinese and Asian communities of Western Canada, spending time in both Asia and North America where he spread the good word of Christ.
