My pastor Joshua Harris has a new book—Dug Down Deep: Unearthing What I Believe and Why It Matters (Multnomah, 2010). I’m only a couple chapters in but it’s very good thus far.
Here are three that have finished it:
J. I. Packer: “Via vivid autobiography, Pastor Harris takes readers on a personal journey into the biblical theology that, belatedly, he found he could not manage without. A humbling, compelling, invigorating read.”
John Piper: “When the apostle Peter says, ‘Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God…casting all your anxiety on Him,’ he implies that humble people are fearless. They have the courage to stand up for truth humbly. I love the term ‘humble orthodoxy.’ And I love Josh Harris. When they come together (Josh and humble orthodoxy), as they do in this book, you get a humble, helpful, courageous testimony to biblical truth.”
Joni Eareckson Tada: “More than forty years of quadriplegia has underscored to me the matchless value of knowing—really knowing—the doctrines of the Christian faith. Dug Down Deep reveals how biblical doctrine provides a pathway to understanding the heart and mind of God. If you’re looking for ‘that one book’ that will push you farther down the road to faith than you’ve ever journeyed before, Dug Down Deep is it. I highly recommend it!”
“A humbling, compelling, invigorating read.”
What a tasty recommendation for “that one book”!
Thanks for the recommendations from three of the most respected and looked up to people in Christianity today.
Absolutely fantastic!
Oh yea, your picture of Harris’ book is stunning.
