“The book is interestingly written, not too technical, and covers many significant theological topics. It is helpful on many practical issues, up-to-date, and pastoral in its approach. It catches the significance of Jesus' resurrection in a masterly way, and contains many memorable lines. It will be a source of spiritual enrichment for many people.” 
—Anthony A. Hoekema, in Calvin Theological Journal
