- David MacKay, The Covenanter Witness (Professor of Systematic Theology, Ethics and Apologetics, Reformed Theological College, Belfast, Northern Ireland),
<p>‘Many Christians have forsaken social activism, since history seems at first glance to be moving against us. John Barber's book does precisely what is needed. He advocates a clear program for Christian cultural activism, based on the biblical program of the Kingdom of God. He shows that we need to emphasize both the Cultural Mandate (filling and subduing the earth) and the Great Commission (making and teaching disciples of Jesus). And he shows that although we sometimes endure defeat, God's plan cannot fail.' </p>
- John Frame, Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary (Professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando, Florida),
<p>...a very good book that provides some substantial thinking on how Christians can more effectively engage with their world...based in good biblical and theological thinking that can have an impact on the way we pray, evangelise and take part in social action.</p>
- Christian Herald,
<p>Full of Scriptural references and insights, as well as personal illustrations, Earth Restored is grounded in Biblical precepts and centered on the gospel...for believers concerned for a Biblical view of Christians and culture, it's essential reading.<br /></p>
- American Family Assoc. Website,
<p>‘Earth Restored is not only refreshingly free of the rancor we've come to associate with the partisan screeds in the contemporary culture wars, it is also remarkably forthright in addressing the most plaguing problems of our day with insight, principle, and grace.'</p>
- George Grant, author, director of the King's Meadow Study Center (Senior Pastor, Parish Presbyterian Church, Franklin, Tennessee),
<p>‘If ever a book had the potential to revolutionize your view of the Christian's role in the world, this is it.' </p>
- Bill Bright, Campus Crusade for Christ,
<p>‘Here is a book which ties together the two great commands of God: the Cultural Mandate and the Great Commission. A practical guidebook for Christians of all persuasions.' </p>
