My good friend and mentor, Ed Hird, has authored an insightful call to holistic heath. Teaching from the tiny, but power-packed New Testament book of Titus, Ed prescribes an effective cure to North America’s “pirate” culture. Titus’s mandate to minister the Gospel on the pirate-ridden island of Crete in the 1st century is a God-ordained antidote to our overly-addicted, overfed, materialistic, and arrogant culture. Ed weave’s interesting stories of key individuals from Benjamin Franklin to Johnny Cash to illustrate key points in Titus.

Alan Gilman believes that the Bible is God’s epic story—his holy, inspired and authoritative revelation of his plan to rescue a broken world. Understanding God’s Story requires gaining a grasp of its parts but also its overarching themes. These themes comprise the framework within which its details are to be understood. To neglect this framework opens the door to all sorts of misinterpretations. Alan is committed to the restoration of a truly biblical framework.

Really enjoyed this book, I would have to say it was the most interesting book I have read all year. Dr. Ed Hird made the book of Titus really practical and I liked how the book was holistic, mind, body and spirit. I highly recommend this book.
enthusiast, I believe that prayer and Bible study are to the spirit what exercise and healthy eating are to the body. Rev. Ed Hird shows how we can embrace this holistically healthy life through the verse-by-verse commentary of the book of Titus. He opens up Paul’s letter and takes us on an interesting journey of discovery combined with history lessons. I recommend this book as an instruction manual for the next generation of healthy leaders.
Titus, is racy, deep, funny, wise, sober, radical, illustrative of today´s dilemas and pertinent as to Christian answers to them. The fact he and his wife went to Crete, studied “the pirates” as he calls them, unveils and illustrates to us from the very locus the social, political, religious and historic settings out of which Titus is written grips and enlightens us on every page.
will shake you out of your pew. Likening North American Christians to the untrustworthy, gluttonous pirates Titus met on the Island of Crete, Reverend Ed Hird challenges our ‘me first’ mantra, materialism and ‘feel good’ doctrines. If you want to remain physically flabby or morally ambivalent, this is not the book for you. But, if like the rapacious inhabitants of ancient Crete, you yearn to become a world changer, read on.
