After 500 Years, God’s Grace is Still Amazing

But Now I See: A Meditation

by Sharan Bennett, 23 October 2017 I am supine, the only motionless individual in this large, bright room. Around me hover blurry figures in blue “scrubs” and puffy caps; they seem to move purposefully; all extraneous conversation has ceased. My head is in a brace—not uncomfortable, really, but authoritative. At my left side, a pretty woman […]

The Feeling of Awe

by John Bryan, 15 October 2017 Awe—three letters that define the feeling of reverence as it intermingles with fear and wonder. In the simplicity of those letters is captured the emotion felt by all who witnessed the eclipse this August. It is difficult not to have been overtaken by the event: Joy and fear mixed […]

One Good Idea

 By S M Chen, posted Aug 15, 2017     “New ideas pass through 3 periods: 1) It can’t be done. 2) It probably can be done, but it’s not worth doing. 3) I knew it was a good idea all along.” –Arthur C.

Have you read “Adventist Tomorrow: Fresh Ideas While Waiting for Jesus,” by Jack Hoehn.

ADVENTIST TOMORROW—Fresh Ideas While Waiting for Jesus, by Jack Hoehn

ADVENTIST TOMORROW is a best-selling book for Adventist Today, with over 1,000 copies sold so far.  A Sabbath-school at LLU is discussing selected chapters.  It is being read by Adventist College and University students.  It is read in Canada, in Australia,  in South Africa, in Kenya and in Spain, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.  Even Clifford Goldstein told Jack he liked the chapter on Intoxicants and got a new idea from the chapter Not a Rib, “but not much else.” (Jack accepts this as good a review from Cliff as he could ever hope for!)

You too don’t have to agree with Jack to read the book.  The ideas discussed are important for all caring Adventists to consider and are very much topics of current interest.  What is the Adventist view on abortions as needed health care or murder?  Should Adventists vote? Should Adventists vote to protect the US 2nd amendment or return to our historic position of “not-bearing arms.”  Can we accept science and still believe in God? Is Genesis 1 an inspired summary of Creation or a news report?

Readers are very positive:  “It’s a good read.”   “ I have enjoyed it immensely.”   “ A very valuable piece of work.”  “Once I started it, I could not put it down.”    “Very well written.”  “An unprecedented and transformative rescue of Adventist thought.”    “A genuine pleasure and a relief.”  “An author should… make you think and maybe think a little differently than you did before.   Jack…has accomplished this in spades!”    “Added very richly to my heart, soul and mind.”
