"As
the coherence of both old Christendom and new Evangelicalism unravel in
twenty-first century North America, there is a growing ecumenical
interest in the discipleship traditions of the Radical Reformation.
Jodi Nisly Hertzler’s "FAQ"-based and decidedly lay-oriented approach
to telling the Mennonite story is a fine example of the new and welcome
spirit of engagement among contemporary Anabaptists." —Ched Myers, Bartimaeus
Cooperative Ministries "Some of Hertzler’s answers are little tweets while others flow in succinct paragraphs, but regardless of length, they quickly capture Mennonite views on many things." —Donald B. Kraybill, in the Foreword "Jodi has established her . . . inimitable style of responding that seems to fit our current times well: Her answers are straightforward, direct, informal, caring—yet always on the lookout for the occasional customer who is just out for a fight or pulling our collective leg. Enjoy." —Melodie Davis, in the Introduction "As Mennonites, we are often known for our culture more than for our faith. This presentation of questions and answers as a ministry of the Third Way Cafe makes that evident, helps us to understand the problem of communication and serves to help in correction. Our commitment to discipleship of the risen Jesus needs to be understood more fully." —Myron S. Augsburger, Evangelist; President Emeritus, Eastern Mennonite University; Author "The
well-seasoned, yet accessible reflections found in these pages prove
that "simple" and "simplistic" should never be confused. Sometimes
humorous, often profound, always engaging and invitational, Hertzler’s
thoughtful work will intrigue Anabaptist/Mennonite readers as much as
those curious about them." —James
R. Krabill, Senior Executive for Global Ministries, Mennonite Mission
