The Church of Christ at this present hour is host to a multitude of frustrated and disenchanted ministers and scholars. From the inside of ministry, the veneer of our movement disappears and the blemishes take center-stage. Discouragement is common. In response to this state of affairs, we asked an eclectic cast of authors, ministers, and scholars to answer the question, "Why did you stay within our movement?" The result is a diverse set of answers which we hope will create a little hope for the future of our people.

Preface, Scot McKnight
Introduction, Benjamin J. Williams
I Stayed for the Restoration Plea, Everett Ferguson
I Stayed for the Love of Scripture, Jeremie Beller
