Reviews
Using this beautiful Old Testament presentation of the gospel, Mark Belz woos us to be reconciled to God and man. -- George Robertson Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Augusta, Georgia This is a book that lingers. . . . This riveting read is now on my list of favorite books. -- Susan Hunt Conference Speaker, Author, and Former Director, Women's Ministries in the Church (PCA)
Bible study habits gone a little cold? Need to be warmed by the re-telling of a remarkable story? Too long since you saw the gospel in the pages of the Old Testament? This highly readable account of Naaman's little slave girl will both encourage and instruct you.--Joel Belz, founder of WORLD Magazine For some reading this book the narrative found in II Kings 5 will be familiar. For others it is about to become familiar. This historical event recorded in history not only anticipated the New Testament clarity of the Gospel of saving grace in Christ, but it also demonstrated and announced the Gospel message and ministry of reconciliation. Mark Belz unfolds this with energy and theological clarity.--Harry L. Reeder III Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, AL This riveting read is now on my list of favorite books. This is a book that lingers. Not only did I frequently stop reading and spend time reflecting and praying, but I continue to ponder and celebrate the deep wonders of the gospel in the beautiful story of Namaanâ (TM)s slave girl.--Susan Hunt Using this beautiful old testament presentation of the Gospel, Mark Belz woos us to be reconciled to God and man. While Mark is a masterful Bible teacher, his real effectiveness in charting the journey to wholeness comes from his having walked it with Jesus.--George Robertson What I particularly like about Mark's book is that it reminds us again that God's ways are not our ways nor is his method of reconciliation the same way the world would bring about reconciliation. Naaman's slave girl acts much like Christ. She brings reconciliation through humility and servant hood rather than any special strategies of communication. She shows that in God's economy weakness is really strength and deferring to others puts one in the place where they can intervene and bring about a redemptive reconciliation.--Paul D. Kooistra, President, Erskine College and Erskine Theological Seminary, Due West, South Carolina
