Contend: Defending the Faith in a Fallen World
"Contend, by one of evangelicalism's most promising young writers and thinkers, is exactly the kind of book the church needs in our moment...Armstrong's gospel-saturated writing, coupled with deeply instructive practical examples, will equip the church to be as bold as a lion, and to roar as Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon and Machen before us."Owen Strachan, Assistant Professor of Christian Theology and Church History, Boyce College; author,Risky Gospel"At a time of great theological confusion and emotional calls to content-less 'unity,' a time of politically-correct 'can't-we-all-get-alongism,' here is a balanced and passionate appeal to take seriously their commitment to Jesus in all areas of life, both individually and in community... May this call be heard far and wide."Dr. Peter Jones, Executive Director, truthXchange"Contend is a fine combination of concise biblical exposition, down-to-earth examples, contemporary illustrations, and challenging practical application. I've already made a list of people I want to give this to...as well as another list of areas to work on in my own life and ministry. It's not only an ideal book for discipling a new believer, but also for shaking the more mature out of dangerous complacency and passivity."David P. Murray, author,Jesus on Every Page"This is a book the Church desperately needs, for it matters not merely that we contend, but also how we contend and that we contend for the right cause: namely the name of Christ. Contend not only calls us to defend orthodoxy, but gives us a biblical blueprint for doing it."Daniel Darling, author,Real: Owning Your Christian Faith
