Reviews

[Jeremy Mueller · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a sweet chronicle of the faithfulness of God and the faithfulness of a local congregation of believers. Through commitment to God's word, the Lord has used Tenth Presbyterian as means of his grace to save many sinners and to further proclaim of his greatness. By the simple means of preaching God's word, administering the sacraments, and engaging in mercy ministry, this church has remained theologically sound as churches around her faltered through succumbing to the pressures of theological liberalism.
