Calif. Bristol House was founded in 1987 by Good News, the denomination's unofficial conservative caucus, but was sold to independent investors in 1990. Kuyper's book is described by the publisher as a basic handbook for congregations who want to learn more and consider being available for transforming ministry. Questions for discussion are provided with each chapter. Then a theological basis is laid for a healing and transforming response from the congregation itself as the body of Christ.
Renewal is necessary for the healing of sexual brokenness to take place.
The book shows that the same transforming ministry took place in the New Testament Church and in the Wesleyan revival. Kuyper's book was adapted from the dissertation he wrote for his Doctor of Ministry Degree at Fuller. His faculty mentor during that time was the Rev. Newton Malony, a United Methodist psychologist. This book can be read with the knowledge that judgment is always tempered with mercy and hope. It will also be available at the Confessing Movement meeting in Indianapolis Sept. 9-11.
