<strong>Discovering</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>New</strong> <strong>Covenant</strong><br />
why i am no longer a<br />
seventh-day adventist<br />
<strong>Greg</strong> <strong>Taylor</strong> sensitively shares his personal journey<br />
toward entering true Sabbath rest. Many people<br />
will identify with <strong>the</strong> struggles and soul-searching<br />
he and his family have endured to boldly embrace<br />
<strong>the</strong> Gospel of God’s grace.<br />
<strong>Greg</strong> and his family were not content to live a life of<br />
incongruity. They went beyond <strong>the</strong> first step of<br />
believing <strong>the</strong> Gospel of God’s grace to applying <strong>the</strong><br />
Gospel to all of <strong>the</strong>ir beliefs. When <strong>the</strong> Gospel was<br />
used as <strong>the</strong> standard <strong>by</strong> which distinctive Adventist<br />
teachings were measured, <strong>Greg</strong> and Paula had to<br />
make very serious, painful decisions.<br />
<strong>Greg</strong> and Paula <strong>Taylor</strong> and thier sons<br />
Jordan and Mat<strong>the</strong>w<br />
The <strong>Taylor</strong>s share <strong>the</strong>ir struggles and fears in coming to grips with what <strong>the</strong>y discovered about <strong>the</strong><br />
church <strong>the</strong>y loved. They know what it is to wrestle with knowing <strong>the</strong> inevitable consequences of<br />
following <strong>the</strong> truth and <strong>the</strong>ir consciences. They endured <strong>the</strong> rejection of friends and co-workers and<br />
left generations of tradition to follow <strong>the</strong> truth. <strong>Greg</strong> and his family did <strong>the</strong> hard thing and <strong>the</strong> right<br />
thing, <strong>the</strong>y open-heartedly looked for truth and embraced it when <strong>the</strong>y saw it. The truth has set<br />
<strong>the</strong>m free.<br />
In many ways, it takes an Adventist to know an Adventist’s questions and struggles, that is <strong>the</strong><br />
reason <strong>Discovering</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>Covenant</strong>: Why I am No Longer A Seventh-day Adventist more than<br />
empathizes, it empowers. <strong>Greg</strong>’s story will encourage thousands of o<strong>the</strong>r truth-seekers around <strong>the</strong><br />
world to step out in faith and follow our Savior, no matter <strong>the</strong> cost.<br />
