"You are about to meet one of the most amazing people of the twentieth century." —Dan B. Allendar Drawing on extensive interviews with Jack’s friends, family, colleagues, and critics, as well as archival material, biographer Michael Graham gives us a full picture of Jack Miller—from his difficult childhood, early atheism, and conversion to his later teaching and ministries—showing how he pressed through grave challenges to bring the joy of God’s omnipotent grace to some of the most influential leaders in the church today. Reviews Joni Eareckson Tada, Founder, Joni and Friends International Disability Center “When people see my wheelchair and ask about my smile; when they wonder how I'm able to couple a strict orthodoxy with an infectious joy in Jesus, I often parrot a principle I learned years ago from Jack Miller, who said, "Cheer up! The spirit of Jesus is at work in your weakness." Jack helped me to see that you could be a stalwart Calvinist and, at the same time, praise the Lord like a happy Pentecostal . . . even in the middle of pain and quadriplegia. Sound like a strange mix? In this remarkable book by Michael Graham, you'll see how joyful zeal and sturdy doctrine should always reside together.” Timothy Keller, Founding Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Manhattan; Chairman and Cofounder, Redeemer City to City (CTC) “Jack Miller . . . taught me how to preach grace. Whatever the subject and whatever the text, people were being changed by being brought into connection with the work of Jesus Christ on their behalf. He taught me to preach grace no matter what the text. . . . There would never have been a Redeemer Church in New York City without the impact of Jack and Rose Marie Miller on our lives and hearts.” Dennis E. Johnson, Professor Emeritus of Practical Theology, Westminster Seminary California “[Cheer Up!] is a vivid and accurate portrait of a . . . repentant sinner whose heart was captivated by God’s grace in Christ and by the powerful presence of his Spirit. . . . I’m glad that, through Pastor Graham’s research—especially his interviews with those close to Jack—many others can now meet this extraordinary, controversial trophy and ambassador of divine grace.”
