Born and educated in Scotland, Brian worked as a government scientist until God called him into full-time Christian ministry on behalf of the Churches of God (www.churchesofgod.info). His voice has been heard on Search For Truth radio broadcasts for over 30 years during which time he has been an itinerant Bible teacher throughout the UK and Canada. His evangelical and missionary work outside the UK is primarily in Belgium and The Philippines. He is married to Rosemary, with a son and daughter.

Naphtali, Manasseh, Gad, Asher...Of course, these are four of the tribes of Israel - you probably recognize their names but little more than that. Is there anything else to know about them? Bible teacher Brian Johnston answers that question with a resounding "yes" and points out that each of the original brothers had their own distinct characteristics and that, as prophesied, these traits would be replicated in their descendants. In addition, Brian also pinpoints a challenge for the reader from each tribe regarding their own character and relationship with God.

"Tribes and Tribulations" is an excellent addition to the popular "Search for Truth" Series.
