Endorsements

1.		The Diamond Marriage ''This is a well informed book and constructively addresses crucial questions which many other marriage books tend to neglect'

2.		World-proof Your Kids "Excellent stuff for any thinking Christian parent or any thinking Christian parent or youth worker."

3.		The Word Became Fresh "Davis maintains that avoidance of difficult texts ‘gets us and nowhere and impoverishes the church'. His excellent chapter on appropriation/application includes the damming sentence: ‘ I hold a reader who does not appropriate and/or a teacher who will not apply Scripture is practising abortion on the Bible' You may or may not want to imitate Davis Style but if you read this book you will want to lift his structures and insights straight off the page. And that is no bad thing for the church."

4.		The Envy of Eve "In an age and culture where we all tend to have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement, this book makes a brilliant diagnosis that goes right to the heart of the problem."
