Synopsis

Through the New Life movement, pastor and author Jack Miller became the pioneering captain of an expansive network of gospel-centered, Reformed leaders who taught in seminaries, planted new churches, revitalized existing churches, and recruited and trained missionaries who were sent around the world. His influence is felt today through their work, his writings, and ministries such as Serge (previously World Harvest Mission) and the Sonship curriculum.

Drawing on extensive interviews with Jack's friends, family, colleagues, and critics, as well as archival material, biographer Michael Graham gives us a full picture of Jack Miller—from his difficult childhood, early atheism, and conversion to his later teaching and ministries—showing how he pressed through grave challenges to bring the joy of God's omnipotent grace to some of the most influential leaders in the church today.

You should know who Jack Miller is. His most remarkable refrain was this: “Cheer up! You’re a worse sinner than you ever dared imagine, and you’re more loved than you ever dared hope.” I have a deep appreciation for the ministry of Jack Miller, and so when I heard that @prpbooks was publishing a biogr......more
