Between the Gates

Charles E. Poole. Macon, Ga.: Smyth and Helwys Publishing, 2006. 114 pp. (Paperback).

Fisher Humphreys of Beeson Divinity School has written, “The words from Charles Poole are at once beautiful, forceful and helping in practical ways.” This reviewer agrees.

Early in the scriptural record, Adam and Eve find themselves cast out through the gates of the Garden of Eden.

In the Book of Revelation, Christians are promised entry through the gates into the New Jerusalem. Poole’s book challenges and strengthens believers as they stand between the gates.

These words in the subtitle tell us what this book really is: “Helpful Words From Where Scripture Meets Life.”

Poole has served churches in Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina and Washington, D.C. He now resides in Jackson, Miss.
