by Danielle Barnard, 30 November 2017 In September, America took time to remember the tragedy that happened in New York City in 2001. Anyone who was in grade school or older remembers everything about that day, from where we were when we found out the first tower had been hit, to the […]

Life in the Terrordome

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid called Thunderdome. It’s one of a series of films about a character named Mad Max. Max lives in a dystopian world where survival is the only objective. The Thunderdome is a literal cage dome where futuristic gladiators face off in hand to hand combat to […]

They Would Not Die

by Christopher C. Thompson, 10 February 2017. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites and worked them ruthlessly. Exodus 1:13-14 I have always been enthralled by the story of the exodus. I think my favorite part is when God says to […]

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.
