Media Reviews
With candor, theological insight, and pastoral wisdom, Daniel describes how testimony can deeply affect, and finally transform, the life of a congregation. Prepare to learn here about the practice of testimony, but prepare also to be touched by the courage and honesty of people speaking aloud their experiences of faith. Thomas G. Long, author of Testimony: Talking Ourselves into Being Christian Daniel offers us a new look at an old tradition that many mainline congregations have abandoned. She shows how testimony breathes new life into people and the congregations they love. J. Brent Bill, Indianapolis Center for Congregations This marvelous book is itself a testimony to the powerful ways God works when people are invited to tell others what they have seen and heard and touched of God's presence in their lives. Martin B. Copenhaver, Wellesley Congregational Church
