About
Endorsements
"Dr. Terry Smith is a servant of our Lord who leads with
integrity of heart and skillful hands. Whether directing worship or teaching... excellence marks his work! Terry's many God-given competencies are only outdone by His singular focus to glorify God in
seeing Christ formed in others... wholeheartedly recommend him to the Lord's service!"
-- Chris Gnanakan, D.Min, Ph.D, D.D, Professor of
Theology & Global Studies, Liberty University
"Crosspoint Church has had Dr. Smith minister in our church
in numerous ways. He has played his guitar and sang; he has also filled our pulpit and taught various classes. He is a gifted person who has a heart for our Lord."
-- Dr. Jerry Mick, Senior Pastor, Crosspoint
Church
"The ministries of Dr. Terry Smith are fueled by an evident
passion to serve the risen Christ. Dr. Smith is man of ambition and drive who desires to be used of God in the growth and equipping of His church."
-- Chris Quimby, Christian Comedian, Speaker &
Writer, Co-host of VsTV's Soup du Jour
The Bible to Life
Book
"Terry Smith has crafted a helpful book for seekers and
people new to the Christian faith. It provides brief, memorable lessons foundational for growing as a Christian and developing spiritual patterns and practices for a vital faith. You’ll find it a
good resource for both individual reading and group study and discussion."
-- Dr. Kevin E. Lawson, Global Affiliate Professor of
Educational Studies, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
"What a helpful little book, packed with practical and Scriptural recommendations for disciples. Dr. Terry
Smith is a master teacher and long-time disciple, so read and enjoy; anchor yourself in these lessons and digest them at leisure. Or as Terry might say: Read, Enjoy, Anchor,
Digest."
-- Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs, Robinson Chair of Preaching and Communication, Gordon-Conwell Theological
Seminary
"Dr. Smith has used simplicity, ingenuity, and memory aids (mnemonics) like acronyms and acrostics in his most recent book, The Bible to
Life to allow the reader to remember topics easier. His strategy allows individuals to learn the basics of the Christian faith and integrate those into one’s individual walk with the Lord. A unique
way of helping to learn and remember. Embedded in the topics are many components of the spiritual disciplines that help believers have an ongoing path of spiritual growth."
-- Dr. Jerry Mick, Senior Pastor, Crosspoint Church, Bangor, ME and Director of Training for Outreach to Asian
Nationals
"More times than I can count, I have read a passage from the Bible only to struggle to remember the key points of what I just read. Dr.
Terry Smith has come to my rescue! He has come up with a creative, intriguing, and memorable way to help Bible readers like me embed Bible truths in my mind. Handy acronyms like RPG (Rejoice, Pray,
Give thanks), FAITH (Fully And Intentionally Trusting Him), and READ (four steps to READ your Bible better) summarize Biblical teachings in a logical, sequential, and practical way. And then these
are followed up by practical application questions for the reader. This alone makes the book worthy of study. I am happy to recommend this book to all who want to both to learn the Bible and remember
what they have read using simple acronyms that make truth ‘sticky.’"
-- Rev. Bruce Stevens, Executive Pastor, Rock Church, and Chair of Rock School of Ministry Board of Directors
Communicating Like Jesus
Book
"I read the book... and thoroughly enjoyed it... our Savior
is definitely the MASTER COMMUNICATOR and you (Terry) have done a superb job in presenting Him in this light... I trust your book will get wide circulation among preachers and teachers of the Word of
God."
--Dr. Wendall Calder, Local Church
Evangelism
"To preach and teach well, the place to start is with the
preaching and teaching of our Lord. That’s the place to start, the place to end, and the place to visit often in the middle. Terry Smith takes us to that place."
-- Dr.
Jeffrey Arthurs, Professor of Preaching & Communication, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
