"In the Court of the Master" is an examination of the Christian life from a very unique perspective. Author Lyn Robbins is a corporate attorney with an eclectic background. He has a deep appreciation for contemporary Christian music as well as a thorough understanding of traditional Christian hymnody. As you read "In the Court of the Master" you will recognize the terminology taken straight from the Christian hymnal as Robbins uses it to shed illumination on the biblical text.
With an informed perspective and a clear understanding of the Bible, Robbins provides insight and encouragement for Christians to live out their faith in every day experiences. “In the Court of the Master” will challenge the reader to take their walk with Christ more seriously. Living by faith is a daily exercise and Robbins offers many resources to make this walk more effective.
One of the needs for Christians today is to better understand the church. Robbins, using the Bible, history, and his own rich experience, will allow the reader to have a new appreciation for what the church can and should be for them. Rather than continually criticizing the church, as is the habit of many of today’s authors, Robbins shows what the church can be when we all find our rightful place.
In his own words, Robbins says, “As will be obvious to you when you begin reading this book, I am not a preacher. I have not been to seminary, I do not read Greek or Hebrew, and I am not sure what the word “homiletics” means. I am just an ordinary guy, a working stiff. I happen to be a lawyer, conditioned by training and experience to look for answers, resolutions, and rules. What is more important is that I am a believer, a man who is a part of the real world trying as best I can to work through this thing called “faith” as I seek to become a better disciple. I confess to being frustrated when I cannot find a ready answer to every question or a rule to follow for each turn in life’s road.”
If you are also an “ordinary” person striving to live the best you can, you need to read, “In the Court of the Master.” It will make a difference in your life.
