Called to Suffer

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Frans-Johan Pienaar has tackled a topic that is often ignored and misunderstood, the topic of Christian suffering. In contrast to the popular view that suffering should be avoided at all costs, Pienaar's work demonstrates both the necessity and benefits of suffering from the biblical text. While this book is academic in nature, Pienaar's conclusions are relevant for the academy and the Church. I highly recommend the author's masterful treatment of this crucially important topic.”

Restore Such a One

Church Leadership & Ministry

“All too often, churches are ill-equipped to handle instances of moral failure within the ranks of its pastoral leadership. In many cases, such failure is swept under the proverbial rug of the church or forever held over the head of the guilty. Lance Bacon’s work compels us to avoid both extremes by addressing the nature and practice of ‘restoration’ from a scriptural perspective. This book is a well-researched and biblically informed treatment of one of the most important issues facing the church today. I cannot imagine a timelier and more important work.”
