    5.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Book

    There apparently is very little documentation on the personal life of John the Baptist. What we know about him can be found in the Bible. I think Meyer's forte in this book was to emphasize John's complete understanding and acceptance of his God-given purpose in life: to prepare the way for Jesus Christ. His strict diet and remote living style kept him from getting caught up in the normal worldly things and helped to keep him focused on his mission. John was no ordinary man. Even Christ acknowledged the unique greatness of John the Baptist.

    Hands down, the best book I've ever read about John The Baptist! I didn't expect this much content surrounding the man's life, given the relatively few pages of scripture devoted to him. Meyer, however, draws out every morsel in scripture and brings this man's life and ministry into three dimensions.

    The lessons presented are going to stay with me. This was a powerful book.

    The world since the fall of man beckons us to desire all materialism, comfort, and self aggrandizement. F.B. brings John's life and purpose to a greater understanding that "the Kingdom of Heaven" is at hand. I was moved by the authors sharing that while he no longer was the head of his church, but retired, there was still much he could do. Again I realize that I cannot serve two masters. God help me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I must decrease
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 11, 2015

    F.B. Meyer and Charles Swindoll would be the authors God has blessed more than some others with the ability of illuminating the truths from the life experience of some of the Bibles principal characters. I have previously read Meyer's books on David, Paul and Elijah so had a good idea of his writing style. And although F.B. Meyer wrote over one hundred years ago, the insight he gives is worth your time. The principles of Gods Word do not change with the passing of time and there is much truth to be gleaned from the pages of yester-year. I found Meyer's work on John the Baptist, slow to get started but then you need to be in a particular place for the truth to resonate to your own circumstances. It was exactly one year ago when my own circumstances were changing and faced with tough decisions about ministry I found wisdom and clarity in Meyer’s exposition.
    “He knew that his mission was nearly fulfilled, that his office was ended. He had opened the gate to the true Shepherd, and must now consign to Him all the charge of the flock. Jesus must increase, while he decreased”.
    At a time when I needed God’s mind I found Meyer offering direction through uncertainty. He writes with great wisdom, borne out of his own experience and writes with the skill of a Shakespeare or a Jane Austen. His use of the English language is marvellous. However, above all he writes devotionally, so he is easy to read. He also writes as one man to another, with all the weaknesses and anxieties that are typical of our earthly walk. If you are interested in Bible characters and want to know more of how God used them then look no further than FB Meyer’s study on John the Baptist.
