Here is what Iain Duguid wrote about this second edition:

“This book originated as a series of sermons preached at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Oxford, England; they were then updated and redelivered in a very different setting during a pastoral vacancy at Aliso Creek Presbyterian Church in Laguna Niguel, California. This second edition reflects the changes and development in my preaching over the past twenty years, and specifically my ministry at Christ Presbyterian Church in Grove City, where I returned to these foundational texts: I hope that the grace of God in Jesus Christ is even more prominent now than ever, and I want to thank all these congregations of God’s people for their encouragement and support.”

Living in the Gap Between Promise and Reality, Second Edition by Iain M. Duguid

208 pages | List Price: $14.99 | Series: Gospel According to the Old Testament

Summary: All too often we look at our lives and wonder, “Is this really how life should be for a Christian?” God has made glorious promises to his people in Scripture. Has he failed us when we suffer through sickness, unemployment, broken relationships, recurring sin, or other trials?

Those caught in painful, stagnant, or simply unglamorous circumstances find a sympathetic figure in Abraham, who spent years living in the gap between promise and reality. Working his way chapter by chapter through the Genesis account of Abraham’s life, Iain Duguid shows how Abraham, in both his faith and failure, points to Jesus and the gospel, providing an example and a profound encouragement for us today.
