Book Details
“ROCK PROVIDES BIBLICAL ANSWERS!”
“Faith Alive!” is an excellent source of information and guidance for pastors, Bible teachers, church officers and members-in fact, for all believers seeking guidance in matters of personal and group relationships. “Faith Alive!” also address a wide variety of challenging societal issues. It does both via Bible principles that are well documented, attractively presented and clearly understood. Doctor Rock, long- time pastor, administrator, ethicist and author, utilizes this broad background of study and experience in responding to the challenging questions of curious, confused, troubled and sometimes, even hostile inquirers. The extra bonus of his having been a college president for fourteen years and for eleven years chairman of the boards of Loma Linda University and Hospitals in Loma Linda, California, as well as consultant/speaker in seventy three countries on six continents; and oh, yes, being an African American trained in a conservative tradition, makes for conversation that is arresting yet relevant and Scripturally informed. Faith Alive provides perspectives and data regarding religion, race, parenting, domestic abuse, pastor-people relationships and a host of other topics that teachers in any faith- group will find extremely informative and useful.
