The Ascension: Humanity in the Presence of God
Has Jesus left His church with an embarrassing problem? We claim He's alive yet He's nowhere to be seen. Wouldn't it have been easier for us if He'd stayed on earth? Then we could walk with Him as the disciples did during His earthly ministry or He could tour the world proving His claims. Does the ascension mean He's now distant from us? This book shows how Jesus secures our salvation as our ascended Priest. Humanity is now in the presence of God. As our King, Jesus directs our mission from the throne of the universe. The ascension offers a message of great assurance and great challenge.

Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Glorious and unexpected truths are here constantly laid bare for our wonder and our joy.”
Jonathan Stephen
Principal, Wales Evangelical School of Theology, Bridgend, Wales
“The writers show us the Bible's answers to these questions and many more. If you have ever wondered why the ascension is critical to being a disciple of Jesus or why it wasn't just a bad strategy by God that removed the main evidence for Christianity, you will find plenty of help here.”
Marcus Honeysett
Director of Living Leadership, Kent, England; author, Finding Joy
“With the publication of Chester and Woodrow's The Ascension: Humanity in the Presence of God, I'm grateful to be able to point others to an accessible and inspiring study of this central Christian doctrine. In reading this book, Christians will find their minds sharpened and hearts warmed. Delightfully, the book ends with an Ascension hymn. Theology leads to doxology.”
Robert L. Plummer
Associate Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY
“Chester and Woodrow have given us a gift that will lift our eyes from this temporal horizon to the steppes of eternal joys of our High Priest in heaven.”
