An Adventist Journey

When once asked if he ever doubted his Adventist faith Clifford Goldstein replied that he didn?t doubt much any more but if he did he quickly dismissed it as ?irrational.?

?Irrational?? the person responded incredulously.

?Yes ? Cliff continued ?because considering the things that I believe and the experiences that I have had?to doubt is the most irrational thing that I can do.?

For the past forty years Clifford Goldstein has been a known entity in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Some love him others (to put it nicely) are less than enthusiastic. Either way through his writings editing of the Adult Bible Study Guide and preaching Goldstein has been a presence among us.

Though for decades he has recounted his own personal ?Damascus Road? experience what isn?t known so well is how within four years of becoming an Adventist he went to the General Conference where he has been since 1984. This book tells not just that story but more importantly it recounts the theological and spiritual journey that has led him to find it ?irrational? to doubt.

?Though in little danger of forgetting how I came to Christ (or rather how He came to me) ? Goldstein writes ?because I tell that story all the time I haven?t talked much about how I wound up where I am and for better or for worse do what I do. If the Lord doesn?t come back before I end up dead or in a nursing home staring at the ceiling drooling my index finger hitting ?delete? over and over I better get it all down for whatever it might be worth.?

What?s it worth? Read An Adventist Journey and decide for yourself.
