Review

A privilege to read! A must-read companion to the writings of the late Dr. Howard Clinebell, the author's father. Donald introduces a revolutionary new way of discovering the path to meaning, power, and joy. A beautifully blended form of biblical exposition, superb research, and Donald's own spiritual experience. I wholeheartedly recommend The Service Driven Life! Not only to Christians in the world today, but to all who seek meaning, power, and joy in today's broken world. -- Dr. Steve Sangkwon Shim, Ph.D. (Claremont School of Theology, 1990); AAPC Diplomate; Executive Director, Korea Professional Psychotherapy Institute, Soul, Korea
Clinebell's book is so engaging and came to me at just the time I needed it in my life. It touched the hunger and ache in my heart for the church, for every Christian, to be fully in the world where we belong. Having known Donald's parents, I was thrilled to discover the talent of this next generation. With this book, he offers us hope, meaning and purpose in a turbulent world. -- Bishop Mary Ann Swenson, California-Pacific Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church
