At the Blue Hole

History & Biography

“Jack Reese cares deeply for Churches of Christ. I have known Jack as a mentor, teacher, and friend for over four decades. So, as I read, I hear his voice. I feel his passion, longings, pain, doubts, and God-dependency. His vivid storytelling coupled with candid and, at times, painful critique is refreshing and challenging. Be assured, At the Blue Hole is not merely another historical account. There are no quick fixes here, no gimmicks, and certainly no room for the arrogance of sectarianism. You will find, rather, a clear, thematic, and essential call to a forgotten history wherein lie the resources for renewal and a future. Hope lies in the choices made by Churches of Christ at the edge.”

“I have heard it so many times: ‘I began the year with a commitment to read through the Bible—until I got to Leviticus.’ Abby Kaplan’s honest and accessible scholarship, engaging style, and provocative reframing of Leviticus is essential for a holy and God-infused life. No longer do you have to skip through or even over the book of Leviticus. Kaplan’s work is theologically and practically helpful for followers of Jesus.”
