A Theological Understanding of Power for Poverty Alleviation in the Philippines

Evangelism & Missions

“Hong has produced a scholarly yet readable book based on his doctoral dissertation that illumines the power relationships within the USA-based Filipino diaspora communities that can bring socioeconomic transformation to poor communities in their homeland. Readers will gain many theological and sociological insights on how to alleviate poverty through people empowerment and structural change. I highly recommend this book.”

Manual for Sojourners

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“May I highly recommend this expository commentary on 1 Peter that applies biblical instructions, not only for spiritual ‘sojourners’ who look forward to the future world which God promised, but also especially for the actual migrants of today who live outside their homelands and who see the value of living a life of dignity and purpose in their new host contexts. This interdisciplinary study includes perspectives from the fields of economics, history, geography, sociology, and anthropology—a truly enriching guidebook indeed!”

Training Spirit-Filled Local Church Leaders for the Twenty-First Century

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Ray Miller seeks to bring theological education and practical formational ministry together. It is a lack I have seen in most theological schools. Rather than separate categories, true ministerial training needs to be seen holistically in every approach to education, from the pastoral training levels to equipping the layman for ministry. Miller is an ‘on-the-ground Pentecostal practitioner,’ having served as a missionary in Asia. . . . His is a challenge to the present and future that will demand flexibility, creativity, and urgency to develop better, more effective approaches that combine Spirit, academic, practical, and personal formation. May it be so!”
