For over fifty years, Bob Payne has watched with dismay and alarm the continuing deterioration of standards and morals. A ‘true-blue Aussie’, he has identified with such morally renowned figures as the Reverend Fred Nile, Jim Wallace, Lyle Shelton and others, to speak against our continuing moral decay and encourage moral and spiritual renewal. He regards mooted Republicanism a treasonous and treacherous rejection of Australia’s Judaeo Christian heritage.
An ordained Baptist minister, he has struggled against continually mounting odds to create Australia’s first resident-funded retirement village; to warn against the evils of alcohol and gambling; to decry the atrocity of abortion; to stem the further erosion of wholesome moral values and ethics; to warn against the infiltration and menace of Islam; and to encourage a fair Australian Cosmopolitanism instead of the present divisive, mischievous multiculturalism.
Unafraid and unashamed to press for what he knows is right, he continues to speak against same-sex unions, homosexual abnormality and all vices, while promoting all that is of virtue and decency. He cites the Holy Bible and the preaching of Jesus Christ as his mandate and references for so doing.
His Christian upbringing, his life of Gospel preaching, and his continual struggles to fight for what he knows is right and just, has led him to write this telling book. A clarion call to arms, his book was initially conceived as a legacy to his three sons John, Andrew and David.
Now 84, Bob realises that his words need to go to a wider audience while there is still time, and before it is too late for spiritually lost people to find and experience salvation – from Australia’s quagmire of immorality and benighted animistic, heathen and pagan religiosity.
CAN YOU HANDLE SOME TRUTH?
A Legacy clearly distinguishes between left and right; evil and good; vice and virtue; flesh and spirit; and the world and church, as Bob explains life’s meaning.
