A Book to Study, Not Read

30 June 2021 | Reviewed by Jack Hoehn Stephen C. Meyer is very easy to listen to and very understandable when he participates in the many debates he has had presenting the scientific basis of Intelligent Design. His two previous major books, Darwin’s Doubt (2013) and Signature in the Cell (2009), can both be read […]

Converted by Evidence

By Jack Hoehn Günter Bechly, PhD, is a German scientist. He was raised agnostic or atheist by his family, his schools, his culture. Given no religious training or exposure, this was a scientific, rational, non-superstitious world to him and his family. He was an excellent student and graduated summa cum laude (that means very smart!) […]

Belief Is Fortified by Reason

By Jack Hoehn QUESTIONS: Are you quite sure that George W. Bush was once president of the USA? Can you still remember when Lance Armstrong won his 7th or 6th or 5th Tour de France bicycle race? Are you uncertain if Tiger Woods ever won the British Open? Do you know that there was a […]

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!
