Reach for the Stars Excerpt: here have always been men who walked in a realm beyond the limitations of their time and generation. While most men feel that they have to settle for the status quo, and seem satisfied with whatever is made available to their generation, there are some who are spiritual pioneers, who “reach for the stars”.
Enoch was such a man. The Bible says: “Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took him.” (Genesis 5:24) Now this may not seem like such a great thing to some of you, but let me remind you… Enoch did not live in a day when men were walking with God.

Now Enoch was only the seventh from Adam, and he lived in a day when we can hardly find a half dozen saints, let alone ten thousand. Yet he looked far beyond his own day, and saw into the great Day of the Lord when the saints of God would execute a great victory over evil in the earth.
Few men had the audacity to influence the Church with such broad fervour as Bill Britton did. This man was driven to guide a nation "through the veil" and was engrossed in God's goals, believed that the splendour to come...
