Letter: Don Kirkland’s Book a ‘Spiritual Feast’

I discovered by accident former Baptist Courier editor Don Kirkland’s book, “Something Ventured.” It is a spiritual feast.

Don’s writing skills are well known by South Carolina Baptists. His knowledge of Scripture is apparent in every entry. His real contribution is in helping us understand our roles as ordinary Christians.

Don tells us that the Bible sheds light on all the times in Jesus’ ministry that are not specifically accounted for: “He went about doing good.” According to Don, “Christianity must be visible to others or it is not Christianity at all.” Later he says, “I encourage those who will hear me to never throw in the towel. Never stop doing what Jesus expects of us.” We hear you, Don. Thank you.
