A Basis of Fellowship

""To read Mikael Ivaska's A Basis of Fellowship is less like pouring over dense doctrinal treatises, and more like slipping into your favorite pew (with people you love) in a familiar, sacred space that nourishes the soul. With relatable stories that illuminate the Story, Ivaska writes as a compelling guide for those wanting to soak in what it means to believe, and why. A Basis of Fellowship is a biblically rich, warm, and welcoming read!"" --Jodi Detrick, author of The Settled Soul ""Some think doctrinal teaching has lost its appeal to today's church audience, but Mike Ivaska proves otherwise in A Basis of Fellowship. With engaging illustrations, profound theological insights, and a pastoral sensitivity, Ivaska breathes life into Assemblies of God doctrine, making it accessible and relevant for contemporary audiences."" --Daniel D. Isgrigg, Associate Professor, Oral Roberts University ""The Statement of Fundamental Truths does not serve as a creed for the Assemblies of God, neither is it intended to be an object of devotion. At the same time, the biblical truths contained within it are meant to be understood, believed, and lived. These truths should be treated as relevant today as they were in the first generation of the Assemblies of God. Mike Ivaska offers an example of how to teach those truths so that a community can live them out in real life. He clearly takes the Statement of Fundamental Truths seriously but even more so the people of God it should edify. I think the Assemblies of God will find this work beneficial as both an example and a devotional."" --D. Allen Tennison, Theological Counsel, AG National Office
