Reviews and Endorsements

[Endorsement]
“What I appreciate about Nathan’s writing is his willingness to come in off the long run to address tough issues – ones too many Christians avoid – and he does so with grace, candour, deep discernment and passion. From an American’s perspective, two words best describe this book: ‘fair dinkum.’” – Chris Blake, author, Swimming Against the Current
[Endorsement]
“In a world increasingly infected by by bombast and oversimplified generalizations, Nathan Brown uses words as a surgeon uses a laser to perform a delicate operation. I Hope is a book that examines current issues as they should be examined: carefully, deliberately and precisely.” – Steven Chavez, managing editor, Adventist Review/Adventist World
[Endorsement]
“Nathan Brown continues to be one of the most provocative and challenging Adventist writers of this generation. Whether in agreement with what he writes, or in outraged disagreement—which happens from time to time—I always the find the depth of his thought, the clarity of his prose, and his unquestioned commitment to the gospel refreshing. I Hope is no exception. I might not ‘hope’ for everything he does, but his ‘hopes’ cause me to re-examine my own.”—Clifford Goldstein, editor, Adult Bible Study Guide, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
[Endorsement]
“When my friend Nathan Brown was called to be the editor of Record, it gave me ‘hope’ that our church still had the capacity for self reflection; that capacity to celebrate what God has entrusted to us and, more importantly, to distill the beauty of Adventist Christianity from the mounds of religious tradition, and to reposition Jesus at the nexus of our faith. I Hope recaptures some of the best of this project.”—Gilbert Cangy, director of Youth Ministries, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
[Endorsement]
“One cannot read this book without being profoundly challenged, impacted and blessed. In I Hope, Nathan has articulated so powerfully, what a lot of us in this generation are grappling with—how to authentically live out the kingdom of God in the here and now, yet still looking forward to the coming of Jesus. It’s challenging—but he does offer suggestions for how we can go about this with hope.”—Moe Ioane Stiles, director of Youth Ministries, Victorian Conference
[Endorsement]
“For more than a decade, Nathan Brown has been putting pen to paper on behalf of the church, in the hope, as I read him, that we will think more deeply about our beliefs and practices and engage with the core of our faith—Jesus, the Messiah, and His kingdom. These reflections span a range of topics from the resurrection to the Second Coming and from contemporary literature to the devastating Victorian fires of 2009. At each turn, Brown not only says important things—sometimes critical, sometimes hopeful, always honest—he says them beautifully. You should not only read this book. You should follow its example.”—Ryan Bell, senior pastor, Hollywood Seventh-day Adventist Church
[Endorsement]
“A faith-maturing, hope-instilling collection from one of Adventism’s most progressive writers.” —Darren Morton, author, Seven Secrets for Feeling Fantastic
[Endorsement]
I HOPE is Nathan brown at his prophetic-voice best, a call to Jesus-centered Adventism. I hope we can become the kind of church he urges us to be." - Dr Bruce Manners, author Reckless Love
