“In the book of Philemon, the Apostle Paul called Onesimus 'useful.' So would I label Dr. Arthur Ammann. While serving as head of Pediatric Immunology at UCSF Medical School, he discovered the link between blood transfusion and HIV/AIDS. Now mothers and children in developing countries benefit from his knowledge and connections through Global Strategies for HIV Prevention. This useful man now draws on those experiences to share his thoughts on the biblical book of Philemon so that we too can become useful.”

Making Sense of It All

Christian Living

“In this book, Richard Hipps shares a story of his encounter with John Wimber. Like most useful stories, it chronicles a conversion of thinking. An ‘aha’ moment. An epiphany. I would like to hear more epiphanies from the pulpit. Most of us hope that our pastors grow with time, but we rarely learn the intimate details of that metamorphosis that might help them seem more human to us. Richard shares those details.”

Women, HIV, and the Church

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Whether in the ghettos of America or the bush villages of Africa, the church has failed to meet Jesus's standards for caring. Ammann and colleagues alert us to the 'feminization of AIDS' and call the church of Christ to meet their needs the way Jesus would.”
