Raising Ebenezer: A Rearview Look At Life’s “Hither By Thy Help I’m Come”

By Kendal R. Utt
$16.95
ISBN 978-1-59831-006-1

Using a classic hymn as his starting point, Kendal Utt has shared his heart with us in this book, revealing how in paying attention to our stories, we too can see how we have come to where we are by God’s help. Each chapter not only shows how this has been true for him, but it opens the way for us to consider how we can sing, “hither by Thy help I come.” Making these connections reminds us that we all have Ebenezers, and in seeing them, we can live with greater gratitude to God.

--Dr. Steve Harper, professor of spiritual formation and Wesley Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida

Kendal Utt is an ordained Elder in the Kansas West Conference of the United Methodist Church. He graduated from Southwestern College with a Bachelor of Philosophy degree. His Master of Divinity was received from Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky.
