Gilbert M. Valentine. Ostriches and Canaries: Coping with Change in Adventism, 1966‒1979. Westlake Village, CA: Oak and Acorn Publishers, 2022. 492 pp.
This book makes fascinating reading. In an intelligent and exciting way, the author opens the curtain to events of the past, but which resonate today. At least in the part of the world where I live, reading this book makes one wonder how seemingly serious, intelligent people can turn off common sense, ignore reality and to try to solve problems with weapons of totalitarianism. Has this really happened and does it continue to happen in the Seventh-day Adventist Church?
