A Prilgrim's Progress

"Many of us have been waiting for this autobiography. Here is an unusually gifted and dedicated man who has done it all-preaching, pastoring, teaching and leading a college and seminary, and writing forty books of Christian theology, history, spirituality, biography, and three novels. With untiring devotion and creativity, Barry has served his university, denomination, congregation, the Wesleyan Theological Society, and Horizon International (ministry to AIDS orphans in Africa). As founding editor of Anderson University Press, Barry has assisted others with their own significant writings. In these pages, he covers the full scope of his personal journey, one that touches the stories of so many other people (see the Index!)."

Gene W. Newberry,

Former Professor and Dean Emeritus of Anderson University School of Theology

"The opportunity to see into the life of Barry Callen is a wonderful chance to see how God mightily uses a willing heart and a competent mind. His thoughtful work as a theologian, professor, and writer is an exemplary model of servant leadership. The impact of his life will benefit church leaders and students for generations to come. It is difficult to imagine any serious engagement with the study of church history, holiness, or church unity without his influence. His impact on the establishment of the Wesleyan Holiness Connection and Aldersgate Press has been considerable."

Kevin Mannoia, former bishop of the Free Methodist Church and president of the National Association of Evangelicals, now at Azusa Pacific University, Azusa, and president of the Wesleyan/Holiness Connection
