Forward, Ever Forward!: The Church of God Movement Yesterday and Tomorrow

We are shown here some unsightly birthmarks of our Movement. The blemishes are treated

lovingly in pursuit of a fresh face for the Movement. This is not self-indulgent navel gazing!

—Paul Strozier, Senior Pastor, Madison Park Church of God, Anderson, Indiana

Dr. Callen has enabled the potential of a reawakening of the Movement’s commitment to place its 

heritage into fresh wineskins of understanding for a generation desperate for meaning and mission.

—Ronald J. Fowler, Pastor Laurate of Arlington Church of God, Akron, Ohio

This work is broad in coverage and rich in wisdom. While reading, I often said loudly, “Amen!” Here 

is important help as the Movement worldwide seeks its way forward.

—Rainer Klinner, German pastor, Principal, Fritzlar Bible College, Germany

The book is candid about yesterday and truly visionary about tomorrow. Anyone who cares about the 

Movement’s future should read these pages and share them with others.

—Cliff D. Sanders, Chair, School of Ministry, Mid-America Christian University
