Three simple words. Three seconds to write and a moment to read. But not even eternity itself will provide sufficient time to plumb the depths of what these words mean. Or the price that was paid so we could understand them. By His Stripes is a passionate, sometimes shocking, reexamination of the Great Controversy and the glory of redemption through the "gospel" of Isaiah-a book that has more to say about God's love, creation, free will, salvation, justice, and righteousness than almost any other book of the Bible. Amid the relativistic, situational, and pluralistic grayness of our politically correct times, Isaiah thunders these absolutes: Our existence is not the result of chanceBy His Stripes is not another helping of watery "chicken soup" for Christians who only have appetites for "lite" helpings of spiritual food. Rather, Goldstein has served up the "strong meat" of the Word for those who truly hunger and thirst after righteousness and grace and truth and meaning and justice and God Himself. This book tells not just how to become a Christian but also provides the why of following Christ. It's about how we got into this mess we call life and how God has gone to hell and back to get us out of it. At a time when the foundations of our faith are being challenged by "every wind of doctrine," Isaiah's message is clear: Don't give up, Don't stop hoping, Don't stop trusting, Don't stop believing, Don't stop waiting. Your redeemer lives, and by His stripes, you have been healed." |

Clifford Goldstein Clifford Goldstein, editor of the Sabbath School Quarterly since 1999, has had a long and distinguished writing career. He has written 16 books and numerous magazine articles. He has been the editor of Liberty magazine and Shabbat Shalom magazine. Clifford, born in Albany, New York, has an apparent passion for writing and studying, and he is a lover of philosophy. These days Clifford describes his life as "very boring," but in his younger days, Clifford’s life was anything but "boring." Nicknamed "Heckle" by friends at the University of Florida for the colorful verbal assaults he leveled against a certain street preacher, Clifford was the poster boy for rebellion and philosophical skepticism. When Clifford met God all that changed, and he began to use his writing talents and his intellect for God’s glory. Clifford has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida and a master’s degree from John Hopkins University. He is married to Kimberly and has two children, Zachary and Hannah. In addition to writing, Clifford’s passions are snow-skiing and playing street hockey with his son in front of the White House. |
