Andrew David Naselli (PhD, Bob Jones University; PhD, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) is associate professor of New Testament and theology at Bethlehem College & Seminary in Minneapolis and an elder of Bethlehem Baptist Church.

"This book packs an extraordinary amount of useful summary,
critical analysis, and pastoral reflection into short compass. The
book will do the most good, however, if it encourages readers in a
more faithful way to pursue that holiness without which we will not
see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14)."--D. A. Carson, research professor of
New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; president and
co-founder, The Gospel Coalition
"No Quick Fix is superb! Readers may not know Keswick theology by
name, but many Christians in Britain and North America have been
influenced by its teachings regardless. If you want to explore a
truly biblical understanding of progressive sanctification while
avoiding the pitfalls of some popular well-intended but misguided
teachings, you'll benefit greatly from this book. I
enthusiastically recommend Naselli's winsome, insightful, and
instructive treatment and pray many will grow in their Christian
lives as a result of giving careful attention to this book."--Bruce
A. Ware, T. Rupert and Lucille Coleman Professor of Christian
Theology, chairman of the Department of Christian Theology, The
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Andy Naselli provides us with a thorough explanation of Keswick
theology and uncovers its biblical and theological weaknesses.
Naselli's work is judicious but kind. The Keswick movement has done
much good, and we are allies and friends in the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Still, iron sharpens iron, and Keswick theology has too
often produced discouragement and despair with its exalted and
finally unbiblical view of sanctification. Naselli's work helps us
to see why Keswick doesn't measure up, and he provides a more
satisfying and biblically faithful alternative."--Thomas R.
Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament
Interpretation, professor of biblical theology, and associate dean
of the School of Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary
"Andy Naselli's No Quick Fix is an easy-to-read and sure-handed
critique of "higher life" theology. Writing from personal
experience and with scriptural clarity, he guides Christians out
from error and into a biblically wholesome approach to Christian
living. Highly recommended!"--Richard D. Phillips, senior minister,
Second Presbyterian Church (Greenville, SC); council member, The
Gospel Coalition
"Andy's work on Keswick theology is first-rate. This is a model of
scholarship serving the church. His analysis of Keswick's history
and his tight theological work on sanctification are extremely
valuable. I enjoyed this book. I learned from this book. I will be
able to help my congregation as a result of reading this
book."--Kevin DeYoung, senior pastor of University Reformed Church
(East Lansing, MI)
"Every Christian struggles with sin. How to deal with it and how to
overcome it serves as the central question for higher life
teachers. But do they have the right answer? Andy Naselli's
comprehensive analysis of higher life theology provides us with
sufficient evidence that they do not. While the higher life quick
fix to the sin problem would be nice, Andy give us ten reasons why
this theology is so harmful. And the appendix provides an abundance
of helpful resources to encourage believers in their Christian
walk. If frustration, confusion, and irritation are words that
describe your battle with sin, especially if you've been seeking an
easy way to victory, then you need to read this book."--Jon Pratt,
vice president of academics and professor of New Testament, Central
Baptist Theological Seminary; elder, Eden Baptist Church
(Burnsville, MN)
"For years popular Christian teachers have been enticing us with
the 'secret key' to the victorious, higher, deeper, more abundant
Christian life. We've been told just to 'let go and let God.' If
you've heard that teaching, you'll want to read this clear and
accessible book. You'll learn not only where this well-intentioned
teaching goes wrong, but you will discover afresh the well-worn old
paths of biblical faithfulness and holiness. Andy Naselli is a
careful scholar and a compassionate guide who longs to help and
serve the church of Jesus Christ. I predict you will not be
disappointed."--Justin Taylor, executive vice president of book
publishing and book publisher, Crossway
"I am so pleased to see this work in print. For years I have
required my doctoral students to read the original academic version
of this incredibly helpful work. Now it's finally available to
everyone in a more accessible format. It is so clear, concise,
well-organized, and understandable that anyone interested in an
evaluation of the "higher life" movement-educators, students,
pastors, or laymen-can profit from Andy's research. No one who
wants to know more about this influential movement can afford to be
without this valuable resource."--Donald S. Whitney, professor of
biblical spirituality and associate dean of the School of Theology,
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
