Reader’s comments: “Jack is a committed Adventist Christian who cares deeply about his church. He has written this book to build on what Adventism has been and is to what it can and must become. In his words, “Change is uncomfortable, but things that don’t grow die.”… I recommend this book to Adventists who want to see their church fulfill its potential. I also recommend it to any one who cares about the Bible as a guide to a meaningful life.” “ totally honest…but very caring and loving.” “The danger in Jack’s book is that it will make you think!”
“It challenged my assumptions and gives me hope for a more relevant church.” “Some things I don’t agree with, but for the most part, I find Jack’s perspective on the topics to be interesting and thought-provoking.”
“If you are (or were) an Adventist and enjoy new approaches, this is a book you should read.”
“It has been a genuine pleasure and a relief…you have added very richly to…the Adventist soul itself.” “We talk enough about the Adventist past and the frustrating present, but the future is a blank slate. Adventist Tomorrow is a guidebook to that future.”
“I bought 3 copies. Love the book.”
