Endorsements for An Agenda for Change:“Here is an informal, thoughtful call for the church to live out her mission.” —
John Ortberg, Pastor, Menlo Park Presbyterian Church "Whether or not the word 'evangelical' survives, the issues Joel Edwards raises are ones that must be addressed in new and fresh ways. This is a must read." —
Bob Roberts, Jr., Pastor, NorthWood Church “Joel Edwards’ efforts to recharge the label “evangelical” with all the richness, power, and good news it possesses also recharged the word “hope” for me. It is wonderful to contemplate the difference it would make—for the world and for believers—if we truly embraced and pursued this agenda for change.” —
Carolyn Custis James, Author, “The Gospel of Ruth”
