Imagine a life of street crime. What began as typical teen rebellion became cycles of dodging the police, nodding on the corner, and seeing your friends and loved ones shot or killed. Then someone tells you the truth - God loves YOU. Though you can barely believe it you do, because their voices bring hope of a better life. Like a child learning to walk, you stumble through life less and now you can run.
As your life slowly changes for the better you begin to see and hear things that no longer ring true. You're learning for yourself that God's love for you is real, but the way you're being taught to serve Him is - not true. The more you study the Word of God for yourself, the more you realize that the people you looked up to have been selling you something you don't even need. Now what?
The life of Robert Anderson is a true account of how God can even use a cult to clean you up, but it is He that does the true saving. Read one man's journey from cult to Christ and be inspired to live in the shadow of God's grace - and truth.
Sir Robert Anderson was born in Dublin, Ireland and was of Scottish descent. His father was an elder in the Irish Presbyterian Church and he was raised in a religious home. Anderson's conversion took place after listening to a sermon delivered by John Hall.
Sir Robert Anderson graduated from Trinity College, Dublin, in 1862 and was called to the Irish Bar in 1863. He later became Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department at Scotland Yard. When he retired in 1901, he was made Knight Commander of the the Order of the Bath. W. H. Smith, on the floor of the House of Commons, said Sir Robert "had discharged his duties with great ability and perfect faithfulness to the public."
Sir Robert Anderson was the chief inspector for Scotland Yard. He was greatly respected for his skill as an investigator. When Anderson wasn't writing on subjects related to crime, he wrote books on Christian prophecy. He helped establish the fact that 69 of Daniel's 70 weeks have now transpired, and that the tribulation will be the 70th week. Sir Robert Anderson's book, The Coming Prince, has become a foundational resource for all dispensationalists.
