By Bruce Atkinson
The Isaac Factor
I’d gone through a very testing time in my personal life when God spoke to me very clearly:
“You passed the test, but you still aren’t ready for my greatest test…”
Alarms bell rang and disaster scenarios filled my mind, before the Holy Spirit completed the sentence:
“…my greatest test: the test of my blessing.”
This statement set me on a journey – one I want to share with you. In this book you’ll discover what type of person you need to become in order to handle the blessing of God, and to steward His greatest gift: more of the Holy Spirit.

Shut up and Show me
This study on the New Testament letter of James boldly deals with such topics as the character and life of the contemporary Christian, the misconception that Paul and James disagreed on the gospel, Christians overcoming trials by aggressive faith, the nature of tests and trials… The book is provocative to holy living in Jesus Christ for today’s church.
No More Law
Bruce Atkinson concentrates on the work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life; walking in the Spirit, and how this brings freedom and produces godliness. He maintains a good theological balance between the Word and the Spirit, the gospel and the place of the Mosaic Law, freedom from that Law, but with an emphasis upon our responsibility to live godly lives in today’s world.
Land of Hope and Glory
A unique history of British revivals. From Patrick in the 5th century to Duncan Campbell in 1949, Bruce Atkinson charts wave after wave of revival in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
