In the Name of the Son: The Gerry Conlon Story

Product Information

He's met Bruce Springsteen in the urinals at the Oscars (when In the Name of the Father was nominated seven times.

Realize, the early church baptized in the name of Jesus: Peter said to them, "Repent, and each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Tortured by nightmares and flashbacks, unable to create meaningful romantic relationships and blowing his compensation money on drugs and wild living, he was a man on the run from himself. It took a long time, but in the end Gerry Conlon was, as he said on his death bed, ready to meet his father because he had finally forgiven himself. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God [which represents all that Jesus Christ is and does], so that you will know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have eternal life. Richard O Rawe and Gerry Conlon grew up together in Belfast s Lower Falls area they were life-long best friends and confidantes.

And this is His commandment: that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another just as He commanded us. This, indeed, is hidden: "He hath name written, which no one knoweth but he himself" ( Revelation 19:12).

I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life. Those who have been in the church have likely heard this many times before a believer is emersed in water or baptized (1).John's favourite πιστεύειν εἰς, expressing the very strongest belief; motion to and repose upon the object of belief. As Job says ( Job 26:8), "He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. From walking down the red carpet at the Oscars and singing a duet in the toilets with Bruce Springsteen to scavenging for food through bins in Mayfair, the audience is dragged into the murky drug-addled world which had taken over Conlon’s existence.
