History & Biography

“Jack Reese has written an engaging and thoughtful book that invites the reader to reflect upon several pivotal, but not well known, events in the life of Churches of Christ that have informed and impacted members of that tradition to this day. Writing in a conversational and personal style, Jack leads the reader back and forth between historic events and current realities in many Churches of Christ, focusing especially upon the twin themes of restoration and unity. As a minister, Jack writes in an engaging homiletic style, drawing the reader into the story through the use of metaphor and analogy. As an academic, he helps the reader make connections between seemingly disparate historical moments. Easy to read and hard to put down, this book will richly reward any reader interested in the impact of history upon current church life and practice.”

“Until recently, so few counselors and coaches have tried to integrate Luther’s Christ-centered theology into today’s culture and personal concerns. Luther’s theology is a soul care theology, and Guse has gifted us with his insights into how that theology can be used to coach people to make wise and faith-filled vocational decisions. I was a career counselor earlier in my life and wish that this book had been available to me then. I am so pleased that Guse has helped to add these badly needed insights.”
