As a pastor who has for many years embraced the mission of connecting the message of the church with the audience of the community, I heartily recommend to you this book. Ed's entertaining and creative style of writing from God's perspective on everyday issues is certain to inspire, refresh, and motivate the whole community---and that's a good thing!

In this book Ed Delph reveals to us that the church is just the world in obedience to Christ. He addresses the mass of humanity who are legally released from Adam’s inferior reference given to man to Christ’s triumph as every man’s inheritance given freely by grace. This book is a mind skin worth pouring your thoughts into.

Ed Delph has blessed the Body of Christ with wisdom to communicate the Gospel to people in a very effective way. The Holy Sprit is pressing the church to be reformed in its thinking and ways in order to bring transformation to communities, cities and nations. 
Thanks Ed for showing a way to fulfill our commission to bring transformation by taking the Kingdom of God into the kingdom of media and all other kingdoms of this world. Your life, ministry and wisdom from God has greatly bless us.

Ed Delph is a Christian missions practitioner. I know of no one like him who can make something complex sound simple. It was Albert Einstein who said, “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” This book will be essential reading for everyone who takes seriously the heart of God for the people who live around them. Like his previous books he provide the handles we need to grab a good hold of the things that are important.

Ed Delph’s stance that God has gotten a bad rap in the media prompted him to action. Fighting fire with fire, he uses that very same media to turn the tables. His newspaper columns shout out the news: contrary to what you may have heard, God is alive and well and living among us. Ed’s contemporary method of setting the record straight beckons us to see God’s power as He moves in our everyday lives.

 Ed Delph is the real deal. He has great insights—and a deep passion for God’s people to make a kingdom difference in our world. God is using him all over the world. Let God use him to speak to you in this great book!

“Thank you, Ed Delph for an easy read and much needed answer to 
the misinformation and attacks on God’s Masterpiece, the Twenty First
Century Church. It should be read by saint and sinner alike. What would 
the world be like without the real, relevant Church? Jesus said the church
is the salt and light to transform the Universe.”

Apostle Emanuele Cannistraci

This book will be a blessing to you because Ed Delph is a blessing. He knows how to make words come alive and make you think about things you never thought of before, so as you read don’t hear what he didn’t say hear what he is saying.

A few days ago a business man in my congregation asked me "Why doesn't some Pastor write a book about why we go to church, a book that is easy for unchurched people to understand. Ed’s statement "Perception is reality to the uninformed" is a reflection of the real challenge we face. I think Ed has once again given the body of Christ a resource tool to address this issue. The articles collected in this book can be used as an evangelistic tool, a daily bible study or a study of the philosophies of a church - community connection. This book will not only inspire all who read it but will increase the effectiveness of any church culture and help to change the uniformed world perception of the Christian church. It clearly brings the spiritual truths to a practical reality! Thanks again for your work Ed!

Ed Delph has a unique way of presenting complex ideas in simple ways that the listener is able to understand and remember. In his new book, Finding An Ancient God In the Twenty-first Century, Ed is able to bring the concepts of biblical knowledge into modern relevance and understanding. This book is great for everyone wanting to see God at work in our every day life and especially for pastors who are leading congregations in the 21st Century. Everyone will come away inspired after reading this book.

The words that God gave to you sparked life into me. You are a voice that God uses to bring direction to the body of Christ. I keep seeing the title of your book: God & Community. Thank you for your faithfulness.

The title of this book predicts it already. Those who know Ed Delph knows this is a title where he is at home at and at his very best. For many “Old timers” it is often painful to be confronted with the increasing irreligious and post Christian mindset of many people in First World countries. Ed Delph has the experience and God-given ability to bridge this gap.

Dr. Isak Burger, President
Apostolic Faith Mission
South Africa

Every now and then God gives a simple truth to a writer which opens the gates of the mind to revelation. This is one of those truths. Every believer should carry this book as an important tool for evangelism. It answers most of the questions of the unbeliever and stirs the faith of the believer to realize that what we need is on the shelf of God's storehouse for the taking.

Ed has done it again, taken the magnificent topic of GOD and made Him real and personal yet without minimizing His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence. God is not complicated, He is complete. For all who are asking Who, What and Why hand them this book.

Thanks to Ed Delph we now have a concise and clear understanding of why we are here and of God's expectations of us. No religious jargon from this writer, he just tells it as it is. God has no favorites and excludes no one from partaking of abundant living. You cannot read this book and remain a doubter of God.

Your family and your community need you to act on the truths offered in this book..read it, realize it and rejoice in your own prosperity.

"In a world of fast-paced, sound-bite, media-driven info-living, Ed Delph brings the reality of God, the Church and Christians to the 90% of us who have only 10% of our time to focus on these weighty matters. Yet he does it in a way that allows us to take bite-sized nuggets of the depths of God's ancient truth. You will find yourself "holding a smile" as you read the witty passages, while being subtly and profoundly reminded of the eternal wisdom of a personal encounter with God--not framed by reality TV, but by relationship with the Almighty. Thanks Ed, for reminding--not only the media and those outside the church, but Christians themselves--of who we are intended to be."

Ed Delph is one of the premier thinkers in the world today regarding the church's mission to serve communities and connect people to God. His unique ability to convey timeless truths through wit and humor is a breath of fresh air to those who are hungry for God but are weary of dead religion.

Ed, you communicate your passion to see the Church active and effective in the Community with such relevance that it puts things in the grasp of all who read it – non specific to race, gender, creed. It really does cross all barriers. Your “now”, contemporary thinking comes to life making this a practical teaching relevant to our spiritual growth. Keep going – it’s great!!

Ps. Kindah Greening

This book is a great easy read. The chapters are a mixture of timeless truths and humorous insights. A great book to add to your own reading and a helpful resource for someone searching for truth.

This sounds like the book I needed as pastor of a congregation for "people
who don't like church" - A tool to equip and empower followers of Christ to
relate to, in order to reach out to, their neighbors and neighborhoods. We
need more how-to-think-rightly instruction before we break the holy huddle
to act-righteously up and down the streets of our cities and communities.

Much success!

Ed Delph's new book would make a great gift for your employees and business associates. It shares the Good News of a Christian Lifestyle in a punchy, easy to read style. You will enjoy reading it and sharing it with others!

Ed Delph’s book, “Finding God…,” is an important contribution at a
critical time. Families are exposed daily to drugs, abuse and violence
on the media with little or no understanding of God and His word.
Citizens tolerate abusive behavior in homes, schools and neighborhoods.
Ed’s book is a wake up call to understand the power of God in our
lives.  With understanding comes change as individuals create
spiritually healthy families and communities.

Stephanie L. Mann, Crime & Violence Prevention Consultant

"The ingenious of this book must have come from God Himself, it is just
simply God inspired! What a wonderful tool. This book is needed more today
than ever before. We live in a generation with a very tainted image of God
so thank you Ed for being willing and available to place a straight stick
against a crooked one and helping others to know and understand the genuine
Love and Goodness of God".
