"Breakfast, as we know, is the most important meal of the day. And
Karl Barth is widely regarded as the greatest theologian of the
twentieth century. Put them together, as Donald McKim has done, and
what you get is the spiritual breakfast of champions. Have a hearty
breakfast with Barth before you do anything. It's sure to build a
strong body of Christ in innumerable ways."
--George Hunsinger, Princeton Theological Seminary
"Donald McKim has produced a beautiful little book that makes Barth
accessible to readers of any variety. He presents devotions on
texts from Barth that foster not only further thought but aim
toward wisdom and edification. In this, McKim has rightly discerned
that Barth is read best when he is read in and for the church and
for Christians who seek to follow Christ's way."
--Kimlyn J. Bender, George W. Truett Theological Seminary
"Adding to his engaging series of devotional readings of major
theologians, Don McKim offers fresh and accessible reflections and
meditations on eighty-four bite-size quotations from the writings
of Karl Barth. McKim's reflections are substantial enough to invite
moments of serious contemplation and brief enough to whet the
appetite for more. Whether read consecutively or selected according
to the reader's interests at the moment, Barth's abiding insights
into the depth and breadth of Christian faith and life are clearly
presented."
--Daniel L. Migliore, Princeton Theological Seminary
"Karl Barth's theology is inspiring, but the complexity of his work
can be a barrier for many in the church. Don McKim's Breakfast with
Barth warmly opens the door to the world of Barth's theology,
offering joyful meditations on brief excerpts from his writings.
McKim's clear and passionate reflections illuminate the way Barth's
ideas relate to one another and urge readers to consider the
relevance of his theology for Christian faith and witness
today."
--Angela Dienhart Hancock, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary
