"In Tough Stuff from the Bible, Tendered Gently Calvin Seerveld warns us that we're wrong to think a Bible reader's only choice is to take a text either literally or figuratively. Instead, he invites us to read the Bible 'literarily,' as a nuance rich, God-speaking literary text."
—Adrienne Dengerink Chaplin
"Calvin Seerveld is a good exegete, with a poet's ear for cleverly capturing both the meaning and the nuance of biblical texts. This collection of sermons and other messages is rich in memorable expressions."
—Jack Reiffer
"This work captures some of the best of that preaching. It replicates some of the best of his psalm writing. It sets down the sometimes anguished, sometimes lighthearted prayers of the people. ...The kids of God's people could not walk the street without a Canaanite cop stopping you. The people of Asher were taking it easy on the beaches. Delightful and accessible stuff."
—John Tamming
