Inasmuch: The Saga of NBA

“Inasmuch…”: The Saga of NBA

By Hiram and Marge Lester

The story of NBA “is an important Disciple saga that appeals to those special people who care about human need and are determined to make a difference in human suffering. Such readers will find in this centennial saga of NBA additional evidence that the stature of persons is often determined by the magnitude of the cause to which they commit themselves.”

Inasmuch “focuses primarily on the stories of the people who dared to make Christ’s ministry to human need their polestar, both those who served and those who gave generously to make that service possible. This popular history is written especially for members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). It narrates a hundred years of Disciple history, much of it little-known and seldom-told. Herein, we believe, Disciples will see themselves and their movement, with their strengths and their weaknesses, their tendencies for liberating innovation and their resistance to change at all levels. Perhaps, more important, here they may discover worthy heroes and heroines, though very human ones, who gave themselves to the cause of benevolence in the past and who continue that tradition today.” (Inasmuch, p18)
