Images of Christ in Genesis Volume Two (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500382148)

Dr. Meyer van Rensburg was born in the Northern Cape, in South Africa, and spent his youth as a farmer's son, while attending school near Kimberley and later at Brits, near Pretoria. From this background emerges a love for gardening: planting, watering and cultivating seeds. This fits in well with the meaning of his first name: 'sower of seeds.' He also paints in oils and his paintings can be seen at http: //fineartamerica.com/profiles/meyer-van-rensburg.html?tab=artwork Dr. Meyer was born again in 1982 and has been studying God's Word ever since. He attended Bible school in 1985/86 and then continued his studies to obtain five degrees: Bachelor of Theology, Master of Christian Counselling, Master of Divinity, Master in Practical Theology (Bangor, Wales) and Doctor of Ministry. God has called him as a teacher of the Word and he has been sowing spiritual seed for the Lord since then, first as the founder and president of Covenant Bible Training Centre in Johannesburg and as a freelance presenter at Radio Pulpit in South Africa up till 2004. There he presented various programmes such as "Mosaic," "Bible Crossword," "Light before Midnight," "Music and the Word," and also the very popular, "Running the Race," where he interviewed Christian sportsmen on Friday mornings. Some of his other books are: Brother to Brother, A Handbook for the Study of Covenants; A Dwelling Place for God: A Handbook for the Study of the Tabernacle; God & sons: A Study in the Fatherhood of God; Images of Christ in Genesis, Volume One: and Images of Christ in Genesis, Volume Three. He writes extensively, regularly contributing articles to Christian magazines and is also a popular conference speaker. Since 2004 he has been lecturing in the UK, first in Bristol and then in London, where he has also appeared on Christian television from time to time. He travels worldwide and regularly returns to South Africa for teaching tours. He is married to Lorraine, whom he calls Lainie, and they are the proud parents of five daughters. Meyer used to be a sound engineer until he went full-time into the ministry. He paints in oils, writes poetry, does woodwork and gardening. His favourite Scripture is Galatians 2:20: 'I have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life that I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.'
