Product Description

As this volume reminds us, the experiences of African-American Seventh-day Adventists are different from those of other American Seventh-day Adventists. They also differ from other African-American churchgoers who belong to the all-Black denominations that house more than 80 percent of African-American Christians.
The chapters that follow are, first, a testimony to the hardiness of the faith of those Black believers who are determined "that they without us should not be made perfect."
Second, they are an attempt to suggest a future agenda by review and analysis of past and present experiences.
Third, they are a witness to the goodness of God, whose promises to the obdient in such passages as Isaiah 58:13,14 and Malachi 3:6-12 have been abundantly fulfilled.
The board of Operation Reachback presents this study in the hope that it will nurture the faith and rekindle the fervor not only of Adventists Blacks, but of the entire body of Christ as we face the sober but exciting challenges of the twenty-first century.

Product Description
"[I]t is a mistake for Christians to see fiction as the opposite of truth. Instead, fiction should be seen as the opposite of fact. Truth, moreover, for the Christian is not merely the recital of facts that are a part of the empirical world of reality. Truth for the Christian resides in the larger purposes of God and the universe-purposes that are realized only partially through human reason-purposes that may be realized more fully through the processes of the imagination." The primary mission of the Seventh-day Adventist teacher of literature may be that of inspiring students to explore for themselves how the reading of literature can enrich personal faith in God. With this book, Delmer Davis encourages further conversation regarding the integration of faith and the teaching of literature. By introducing the writings and ideas of notable Seventh-day Adventists and other Christians who have grappled with the interrelationship between literature and Christian belief, Dr. Davis offers literature teachers and students of literature the opportunity to examine the implications such integration has for their teaching, scholarship, and spiritual lives. As teacher of English at four Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities for nearly four decades, Delmer Davis is well prepared to examine a Christian approach to literature and to discuss the integration of one's relationship with God to the reading of literature. Courses he has taught include Religion and Literature, Christian Faith and the Humanities, and Perspectives on Literature. Dr. Davis has chaired the English Departments at Loma Linda University and Andrews University and has also served as Dean of the School of Graduate Studies and Vice President for Academic Administration at Andrews University where he is currently Professor of English and Director of General Education. ...

Excellent Look At Adventism By An Outsider
I have been inspired by the reading of this book for years. An outside journalist looks back on the miraculous story of Adventism, and its mission of bringing Jesus Christ and Bible truth to the masses. Very uplifting accounts that could only originate from a Spirit led people. ... Read more

Product Description
This book provides background information on the worldwide Adventist Church and, in particular, the role that music plays in the church as a whole. From the beginnings of the mission in Papua New Guiena in 1908, a panoramic outline of Adventist missions in the country and their church music is presented. Noticeable are the attempts of the missionaries to introduce a foreign culture against the backdrop of the country's traditional musical heritage. This study examines the church music practices and the attitudes of members and leaders towards aspects of worship music, providing analytical material for the fruition of an indigenously-conceived church music style. ...
