Embracing Authority

"I heartily commend Dr. John Kitchen's thoughtful and unique treatise. I do not know of any book just like this ...eminently Scriptural, relentlessly practical and very well written. I wholeheartedly recommend it."

-- David L. Larsen, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Professor Emeritus of Preaching, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Deerfield, Illinois)

"...a perceptive and accurate analysis of contemporary culture together with a robust challenge to the church."

-- Rev. William Taylor, Rector, St Helen’s Bishopgate, London (Minister, St. Helen's Bishopsgate, London)

"...a thoroughly counter-cultural, transformingly revolutionary, and deeply Christian re-appraisal of the good and wise gift of God-ordained authority structures. Kitchen calls us back to submit to God's mandate of submission and authority in all, but in only, the ways God has designed for his glory and for our highest well being and joy."

-- Bruce A. Ware, President, Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky & author of ‘Big Truths for Young Hearts’)

"As a resident of a planet thoroughly saturated with self-centeredness run amok, I can think of few topics needing to be discussed more than that of authority. ...immensely readable and practical, this book offers an excellent model of how one must analyse and synthesize biblical theology and apply it to life."

-- Donald L. Hamilton, Stephen F. Olford Professor of Preaching, Columbia Biblical Seminary (Stephen F. Olford Professor of Preaching, Columbia International University, Columbia, South Carolina)

"...spiritually and intellectually stimulating. The essence of leadership is captured in the volume and should be considered by all aspiring to the role."

-- Gary Benedict, President, Crown College, St. Bonifacius, Minne
