Receiving the Word: How New Approaches to the Bible Impact Our Biblical Faith and Lifestyle

This book is a must to any Seventh-day Adventist Christian who wonders what is happening today in our church with all the doubts, compromises, and perplexity going on within our ranks. Recommended to me by a fellow SDA and just recently receiving and getting into the wonderful portrayal this book outlines I wish every member of our denomination could get the opportunity to review these wonderful truths brought to the forefront of our sincere beliefs. As all of Christ's words penetrate and mold our thinking and idealism and life styles, His statement "the truth will set you free" was a reality in my life always searching for truth and answers in Catholicism and Penecostalism. When in mid-life meeting head on the truths of the SDA church and finally getting answers that made sense, one comes to appreciate the TRUTH and guard it even more. This book exposes the in-depth reality of the vain attempt our enemy makes at derailing the "three angels messages."

I read this book several years ago, I wish it was published while I was a student at the school I was attending at the time. I personally can attest to the truth of the battles students trying to remain faithful to the Bible faced everyday in class. When I read this book, it vindicated the efforts I and my friends did to battle against the higher criticism we were propagandized with by almost every theology teacher there was. This book sets the record straigh about what is going on in Seventh-day Adventist schools. Students go in believing the Bible and come out doubting the Bible. This book tells why. I recommend this book to every SDA Christian to read because it will serve as a warning as to why our children are doubting God's Word. A must read for every SDA who cares about what is going on in the battle between Truth and humanistic theology a.k.a. higher criticism.
