Ted Murray, engineer, born in 1935 at Newcastle upon Tyne and rescued from the rubble of the blitz in 1941, still remembers his Granny’s text hanging on the wall of the bomb-damaged house: “Kept by the power of God”. Saved by faith at the age of 14, he found fellowship with a group of “Brethren” some three years later. Travel abroad during his working life gave Ted the opportunity to minister to God’s people in various parts of the world. Living in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, with his wife Rosemary, he continues to preach and minister in his local assembly and the surrounding area. His written ministry began in 2002, after his retirement from full time employment. This is his second book.
The story of Nehemiah is one of purpose, pluck, practicality, perspiration, preparation, praise and purification, permeated with prayer. Piloted by the Word of God, he leads the project to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, proving the purpose and power of God for His people. As the story unfolds, the author presents practical lessons for Christians today.
