Judge Kavanaugh in the #MeToo Era

by Lindsey Abston Painter | 25 September 2018 | My phone’s news notifications are all a-buzz this week about .Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Will he be confirmed as a Supreme Court Judge? Are the accusations against him by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford (and maybe others) true? And if they are, will it stop him from being […]

How the Women’s Ordination Debate Shaped My Theology

By Loren Seibold | 24 August 2018 I didn’t start out with any particular objection to women being pastors. Before I got to college, the idea had never crossed my mind. In our little country church in North Dakota I’d not seen any women pastors. We did have some extraordinary women, though, who shaped my […]

By Lindsey Painter | 23 May, 2018 I’m sitting at my desk at work and a song comes on the easy listening station by One Direction. Here are the lyrics for part of the song. Baby you light up my world like nobody else The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed But […]

#MeTooBacklash

By Lindsey Painter | 25 January 2018 | There are stages to social media movements. Remember the Ice Bucket challenge? First it was a new thing, then everyone was doing it, then there was this weird backlash where people complained that the challenge was ineffectual, and it didn’t really raise awareness for ALS and it […]

ADVENTIST TOMORROW by Jack Hoehn has become the best-selling book that Adventist Today has published, selling over 850 copies so far (480+ in the paperback and 370+ in the electronic Kindle version). It is being read by Adventist College and University students. It is being read in Canada, in Australia, in South Africa, in Kenya and in Spain, Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

Who is reading Jack’s book? Jonathan Butler said it is on his reading list. Smuts Van Rooyen says he is enjoying it. Pastors John Hughson and Kenneth Preston have highly recommended it. Pastor Kevin McGill in Seattle quoted from the book in one of his sermons. Carmen Lau has read the book. Jennifer Ogden, Beverly Beem, Linda Nottingham, Cherri-Ann Farquharson, Gina Olberg have all read it with positive reviews.

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 in the book are important for all caring Adventists to carefully consider. It is up to you to decide what you want to do about these issues. Is there a future for Adventism as well as a past? And what might that future look like?

Readers who like the book say: 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. Added very richly to my heart, soul and mind.

The book is good for individual consideration. It can be even better as the basis for group discussions — Sabbath School classes, book clubs, classrooms, workers’ retreats focusing on the challenges of tomorrow. After you read your copy share it with someone else, or gift them their own copy. There are 92,000 SDA congregations in the world, most of them should be having discussions on important topics like these.
