Jesus the Master Builder kept me up all night. Few books have that power.' -- Jonathan Glancey, The Guardian Did Jesus visit Britain? The activities of Jesus before the start of his ministry at the age of thirty have been the subject of much speculation. Did he travel beyond the bounds of Palestine in his search for wisdom knowledge? Where did he acquire the great learning which amazed those who heard him preaching and enabled him to cross swords in debate with Scribes and Pharisees? A number of legends suggest that Jesus travelled to the British Isles with Joseph of Arimathea, who worked in the tin trade. With these legends as his starting point, Gordon Strachan uncovers a fascinating network of connections between the Celtic world and Mediterranean culture and philosophy. Taking the biblical image of Wisdom as the 'master craftsman', Strachan explores the deep layers of Mystery knowledge shared between the Judaic-Hellenic world and the northern Druids -- from the secret geometry of masons and builders, which Jesus would have encountered in his work as a craftsman in Palestine, to the Gematria or number coding of the Old and New Testaments. This book is the basis of the film documentary 'And Did Those Feet'.

A Builder in God’s Kingdom, she is encouraged through the Holy Ghost to keep building, no matter the circumstances the Lord is with me. She is a Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Evangelist, Counselor, and Caregiver. She is married to her husband for over forty-seven years and has known each other for over 50 years. She has two children 45 and 41 and three grandchildren 22, 19, and 16. She prays this Builder’s design has been a blessing to empower you to get moving. This ministry is not about us, but about Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. He is our true foundation and we as Builders are built upon a Solid Rock and are fitly joined together in Christ to help build in His Kingdom. We must continue to work both day and night and give God the Glory for His AWESOME work and all that He has done. So just remember “I AM A Builder and so are You!” LET’S GO BUILD! “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:1-3

To be a wise Master Builder you need to be a kingdom leader. And to lead in the kingdom and walk in kingdom authority, you need to know how to use the keys to the kingdom that Jesus gave us. The Lord disclosed to me what I would consider to be the "key of keys" for kingdom leadership. He said, "If My leaders want to walk in the authority of the Lion, they need to walk in the meekness of the Lamb."
