Alan Bullock était un historik britannique dont l'œuvre s'est concentrée sur des figures clés du XXe siècle. Il a acquis une renommée pour ses biographies complètes d'Adolf Hitler, examinant méticuleusement son ascension au pouvoir et son idéologie sous-jacente. La perspective de Bullock a évolué au fil du temps, dépeignant initialement Hitler comme un politicien opportuniste avant de le reconnaître plus tard comme un idéologue déterminé. Ses études comparatives, telles que 'Hitler et Staline: Vies Parallèles', éclairent davantage la nature des régimes antithétiques. La prose précise et l'analyse approfondie de Bullock en font une voix significative dans le domaine de l'érudition historique.

Throughout God's Word it is clear that our Father longs for us to have an intimate relationship with Him. Sometimes, however, we can get locked behind doors of lack, sickness, sin and missed opportunity. We forget that Christ, God's son, is more than able to forgive, heal, free and deliver us from the chains the enemy and we ourselves have placed upon us. Alan Bullock guides you through 48 Scriptural keys, unlocking the doors to continued growth and wholeness. Here you'll find the keys of freedom, spiritual maturity, conquest and much more. Christian Spirituality is not only about the goal of becoming mature, but it's also about the daily walk with the Lord into the hidden treasures of the kingdom of God that brings us there. Alan offers the reader a deep spiritual truth with each key that will help the reader to recover the full spirituality of the Christian faith. Each truth and key combination is rich with strategies for achieving spiritual well-being.
