Presbyterianism is good for you! This short introduction shows the value of Presbyterianism to your spiritual well-being as a layperson in the church. An extensive Q&A section answers practical questions. Sean Lucas shows clearly how Presbyterian principles and practices are a blessing. They are a sign of God's kindness to order our life together, and they prove to be such a help as we aim to participate in God's mission as his church. I highly recommend Lucas as a guide and this book as a set of lenses to help us see how Presbyterianism is a precious blessing for God's people.--Michael Allen, John Dyer Trimble Professor of Systematic Theology, Academic Dean, Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando As a pastor, I have struggled to find a concise way to get at the heart of our Presbyterian convictions, especially in conversations with newcomers. This book is such a gift! The questions and answers alone are worth putting into the hands of anyone willing to explore why "being Presbyterian is good for you."--Chad Scruggs, Lead Pastor, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Nashville Sean Lucas powerfully demonstrates how views about church government connect to the whole teaching of Scripture, every Christian doctrine, and each facet of the Christian life. Having already written the best history of the Presbyterian Church in America, he now has given us a truly wonderful introduction to Presbyterianism in general. Whether you are a lifelong Presbyterian, a Presbyterian pastor, an explorer of Presbyterianism, or even a little unsure about Presbyterianism, you will be encouraged by reading this book. Your friends will benefit too, so make sure you get some extra copies to share!--Andrew J. Martin, Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Covenant Theological Seminary Sean Lucas's Presbyterianism is a gift to the church, offering a concise and accessible introduction to the core beliefs that define Presbyterian identity. Lucas's tremendous grasp of church history provides a trustworthy foundation from which he holds forth the richness of Presbyterian theology and polity with clarity and depth. Churches will find it an invaluable resource to share with those eager to explore what it truly means to be Presbyterian.--Trent Casto, Senior Pastor, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Naples, Florida There is no one better to teach us about what it means to be Presbyterian than Sean Lucas. And this book is vintage Sean. It is well-written, clear, engaging, encouraging, insightful, and helpfully illustrated. Every Presbyterian church and church member needs to have this book in their library, and every Presbyterian pastor needs to use it in new members' classes and to make it available for visitors. What a wonderful blessing it is to be Presbyterian!--Guy M. Richard, President, Reformed Theological Seminary, Atlanta Sean Michael Lucas (PhD, Westminster Theological Seminary) is senior pastor of Independent Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Memphis, Tennessee.
