"Here is an intriguing series of vignettes drawn from the book of Ezekiel. The facile mind of an outstanding author has captured the cultural background and essential message of the prophet's ministry and skillfully applied the results to the contemporary scene. Following a scholarly introduction which deals with the "Son of Man" concept as related to Ezekiel and to Christ, individual expositions of selected sections reveal the prophet's central emphasis and clearly relate it to the message and ministry of Christ. The difficult imagery and demanding message which have made Ezekiel a conundrum to many are graphically explained and pertinently applied. As the work progresses, the day in which the prophet lived becomes our day, and the message which he preached becomes the message for modern man. Blackwood's incisive understanding of the world as it is, his real perception of the basic elements of Ezekiel's meaning and his ability to express himself with wit and clarity all combine to make this work both readable and thought-provoking. If you are distressed about current conditions, depressed by the seeming difficulty of your lot in life or impressed with the need of greater spiritual insight, here is a book which cannot fail to meet the need."
