New Reader Comments:

“While I have read many thousands of books in my lifetime, I have never written to an author to express my appreciation before. Now I am writing to do just that: after reading Adventist Tomorrow: Fresh Ideas While Waiting for Jesus I am deeply moved … As I read each chapter, I found myself responding “Amen and amen!”… I read many chapters aloud to my wife… your articulations and critiques of Adventism might have come from my mind and heart.. It felt so good to read your words… many of my friends and colleagues have left Adventism over issues you address that they find incompatible with their value systems, like male headship, homophobia, legalism, and authoritarianism. I have held on, hoping and believing that I was not alone in a more progressive understanding of God’s intention for our movement…”

“Reading… Adventist Tomorrow. Thanks for lubricating my squeaky spiritual ‘wheels.’ You have helped me put together thoughts about God that have been lurking in my head that I have been afraid to pursue…the chapter titled, Jesus Alone…is the best so far.”

“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.” “If you are (or were) an Adventist and enjoy new approaches, this is a book you should read.” “I bought 3 copies. Love the book.”
“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.”
