By Zack Payne | 5 June 2020 | Four years ago I wrote an article for another publication entitled, “An Appeal To Fellow White American Adventists.” Across the nation we had just experienced a handful of painful reminders that we cannot ignore racial issues as though they were a thing of the past. Walter Scott, […]

Repairing America’s Collective Memory

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 […]

Black Suffering and White Silence

by Christopher C. Thompson This month marks fifteen years since that fateful day when airplanes struck the World Trade Center Towers in New York City. I along with countless other Americans can recall almost to the moment where we were and what we were doing when the news story broke. I was a sophomore theology […]

Edwin Torkelsen in the most recent issue of Adventist Today, asks a very pertinent question: “If I believe exactly as I did 60 years ago, where has the Spirit been?”

Did the Holy Spirit stop talking to Adventists in 1915? The book, ADVENTIST TOMORROW is not “new light” or original insights. Jack has been listening to the thoughts and insights from inspired Adventists and friends of Adventists for the past 60 years. These ideas reappear in his book ADVENTIST TOMORROW in chapters that let us think about them and decide how we could respond. Each chapter has references and reading lists to study details in more depth.

COMMENTS FROM READERS:

John Brunton wrote, “I can’t say I agree with the author on all the topics but he brings up some interesting points.”

Pastor John Hughson wrote, “this book…build[s} on what Adventism has been and is, to what it can and must become.”

James Spoo said, “ My wife and I have enjoyed it immensely. It is an unprecedented and transformative rescue of Adventist thought.”

Linda Nottingham wrote, “there are surprises and it is a good read, giving rise to the thoughtful revisiting of our doctrines…”

Will Eva said, “It has been a genuine pleasure and a relief of sorts to find someone who has wrestled… as you obviously have — and articulated so well in your very valuable piece of work. You have added very richly to my heart, soul and mind…”

Pastor Smuts von Rooyen wrote, “Enjoying your book Adventist Tomorrow.”

Dennis Stevens wrote, “. Once I started it, I could not put it down. I resonated with almost all…”

Cherri-Ann Farquharson wrote, “Very well written with a logical flow of arguments to guide through what present truth could look like, if we accepted all of the revelation we have about God.”

The books is good for individual consideration. It can be even better as the basis for group discussions– Sabbath School classes who need more than recycled lessons; Book Clubs interested in sharing good reads; Classrooms; Worker’s Retreats looking for some stirring up of the waters!
