The Towel and the Cross is comprehensive and compelling, a genuine contribution to the important literature surrounding the Servant passages of Isaiah, John Nielson writes from the perspective of a man absorbed in New Testament reality. His personal style is that of a servant. Especially in these times of duplicity and egocentrism, John Nielson's transparency and commitment are refreshing and compelling. The message is, and always, has been, that Christ's disciples are called to serve and not be served. It is the message our people desperately need to hear, and in their hearts, want to hear.
