Beyond Promises: A Biblical Challenge to Promise Keepers

by David Hagopian, John Armstrong (Foreword)

Beyond Promises takes a balanced look at the Promise Keepers movement, applauding what it has done well and pointing out where, in the movement's own language, it needs to "raise the standard" in the days to come. The book is divided into four parts. Part One ("At Its Best") commends the movement for what it has done well and responds to unfounded criticisms of the movement. Part Two ("Some Causes for Concern") raises several general concerns with the movement. Part Three ("Promises, Promises") examines the now-famous seven promises. And Part Four ("Beyond Promises") challenges the movement and its followers, to move beyond human promises to the only Promise Keeper there ever was-our Lord Jesus Christ.

I found this a very good review of the Promise Keeper "Movement"
It was written as the movement was growing and developing - and was helpful to me as I was thinking through the issues. I passed it on to a number of people to help them reflect on both the positive and negative elements of the movement.
