Endorsements

"I absolutely love this book! First, each chapter solidly tackles a critical component of our Evangelical faith and practice. Second, the authors demonstrate not only a strong grasp of God's Word, but also of the perspective of church history, which is sadly lacking in most contemporary books. Third, these guys write tight, making every sentence count, so even though it packed with truth, the book is a quick read. . . . I am so proud of these brilliant, godly men, and after you've read their book, you'll understand why Don Carson and I deeply believe in their ministries."

—Rick Warren, Pastor, Saddleback Church

"It brings this aging man great joy to see a rising generation address contemporary questions with theologically informed answers. These are the right guys, on the right topics, at the right time."

—C. J. Mahaney, Sovereign Grace Ministries

"Sometimes I wonder how I could have spent my entire life in the church, safely ensconced in the evangelical subculture, and yet have such a difficult time articulating the essence of significant biblical concepts and convictions that I claim to have built my life upon. And I don't think I'm alone. Don't Call It a Comeback is more than just a primer for the young and uninitiated; it is essential reading for all who want to make sure they are clear and convinced on the things that matter most."

—Nancy Guthrie, Bible Teacher; author, The One Year Book of Discovering Jesus in the Old Testament
