"'Born again' is a common expression that few people understand. In a compelling way Stephen Smallman helps us understand that it is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. This book will prove profitable to all who read it."
Jerry Bridges, author, The Pursuit of Holiness

"Stephen Smallman's stories of how God brings people to new life in Christ are exhilarating—and his refreshing insights into the process of conversion are also immensely encouraging to anyone who wants to share his or her faith."
Ellen Santilli Vaughn, author of Radical Gratitude, The Strand, and, with Chuck Colson, Being the Body, The Body, Kingdoms in Conflict, Gideon's Torch, Against the Night, and other books

"Any campus ministry passionate about students' lives being transformed will want this book in the hands of their front-line campus staff. Stephen Smallman has renewed my own biblical understanding of God's prior work in the hearts of 'not yet believers' while inspiring me to embrace my role as a spiritual midwife in the lives of college students."
Bruce Alwood, Southeast Regional Director, InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

"Spiritual Birthline transforms that most dangerous journey—one's spiritual pilgrimage—into safe, known territory. By applying a pastor's heart and a willing ear to hundreds of testimonies heard over decades of ministry, Stephen Smallman has distilled the work of God in the soul: 'When God calls, we come.' In place of our too-often clichéd born-again narratives, he guides us to a richer understanding that is wonderfully profound and reassuringly practical."
