Praise for Uncompromising Faith

In these days in which compromise is epidemic among professing Christians, Greg Gordon has been used of God to issue this clarion call to Christians to stand firmly and zealously for the Lord. He does so by plucking out of obscurity four stalwarts of the faith who were mightily used of God.

—Roger Ellsworth, author, and pastor of
Emmaus Road Baptist Church

Greg Gordon is a spiritual sleuth who looks for the motivating factors that compelled great men and women of God to live extraordinary and meaningful lives. As he took up his pen to write the sketches you will find in this book, these are the things he is focused upon.

—Steve Gallagher, Founder of Pure Life Ministries

Greg Gordon loves men who love God. This is evident in his work as founder of SermonIndex.net, and it is also evident when anyone has an opportunity to meet and talk with Greg. His appreciation of God’s works in the past, of historic revivals, and of the great men and women of church history drives much of the work and ministry that Greg does. Such appreciation is evident in this book, Uncompromising Faith, in which Greg reminds us of the lives of George Whitefield, John Cennick, George Fox, and Henry Alline. The sketches of their lives and the lessons we can learn from them are certainly applicable to the Christian life and Christian ministry today. Our generation needs such men, now more than ever. This book can be a tonic to your soul and a blessing to your heart.

—Mack Tomlinson, author of
In Light Of Eternity, The Life Of Leonard Ravenhill

We don’t need more pop-psychology or man’s opinions. We need the truth. Uncompromising Faith gives brief biographical sketches of great men of God from the past, and provides modern-day life-application for those of us living in the 21st century.

—Israel Wayne, founder of Family Renewal

Having researched in depth the life of George Whitefield, I am thankful for this work by my good friend, Greg Gordon. May you be enriched and transformed as you read, review, receive and respond to the work of the same divine Spirit who so powerfully worked through these men of God of yesteryear. O God, do it again!

—David Ford, President,
Globe For Christ International

There is a very troubling trend in the evangelical church as a whole. Foundational doctrines such as the cross, sin, judgment, and repentance were declared openly in the early hours of church history as well as in American history—when revivals and awakenings spread across our landscape. Where are the Tyndale’s and Huss’ who were burned at the stake for simply declaring the truth? Where are the Luthers who, when asked to recant or face possible execution, said, “Here I stand; I can do no other”? Here are four men that answered the call...will you?

—Shane Idleman, Lead Pastor,
Westside Christian Fellowship, Lancaster, California

Greg Gordon has written a powerful book which highlights the lives of four heroic men of God and their amazing faith. Books like these work to fan the flames of our own devotional lives and stir us to a greater surrender and a fuller abandonment to the Lord of Whitefield, Fox, Cennick, and Alline. In an age where faith is routinely compromised, Uncompromising Faith is a clear reminder of the higher ground to which God calls all his children.

—Paul West, SermonIndex.net moderator and author of
Understanding Mortification

The men whom God has used in former times are worthy of study. Greg Gordon’s new book, Uncompromising Faith, is worthy to be studied, for in it are “pen sketches” of some of God’s choice servants. Read it and be blessed!
