Praises for Claim the Name
"Claim the Name is a fine resource for the young people of our church, whose deep interest in their Wesleyan heritage speaks volumes in a culture of homogenized folk religion. With these new publications in hand, we have no excuse not to hand on the fullness of the gospel as believed and practiced by the people called Methodists."

-David Lowes Watson,
Director of the Office of Pastoral Formation, Nashville Episcopal Area of The United Methodist Church

Praises for Claim the Name
"I like the format of Claim the Name. I think that it is especially appropriate for the age level. I have found that it doesn't require a lot of preparation. It is easy enough to read to not be burdensome, yet you have presented the meat of the doctrine. I especially like the way theological terms are presented-you explain the concept, then introduce the word."

Steve Chenoweth, Associate Pastor
