Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox pastoral leaders, scholars, and activists have been meeting together for six years at a conference, Allies for Faith and Renewal, to share their beliefs and experiences of spiritual renewal and pastoral strategies for restoring Christian life in the midst of a secular culture (p. ix). Key figures associated with the Allies conferences have been J. I. Packer, James Hitchcock, Donald Bloesch, Paul Vitz, Stephen B. Clark, Harold O. J. Brown, Ralph C. Martin, Mark Kinzer, William B. Ball, Charles Colson, and Deborah Belonick. Christian Allies and Courage in Leadership are collections of some of the speeches given at the last two conferences. They range over a wide series of topics: family issues of euthanasia, abortion, women's issues, biblical family norms; religious liberty issues of the role of religion in public life and the Bill of Rights, and; theological issues of universalism, the Pentecostal movement, the purpose of the gospel and the church, church discipline, and church leadership. The essays are inspiring messages of Christian unity aimed at motivating Christians to transform our culture. Many of the essays have a militant tone: we are in a battle against principalities and powers for this world, and it can only be won through Christian unity and reliance upon the power of God that we have victory. If you feel called to transform the world for Christ in the helping professions, you won't want to miss this book.…
