What Megan Basham says about us in Shepherds for Sale:
“… the Cornwall Alliance is well known, well respected, and virtually the only evangelical game in town when it comes to offering a counter view” to climate-change alarmism. “Like Moses facing down Pharaoh’s magicians, or Narnia’s Puddleglum stomping his Marsh-wiggle foot on the Witch’s fire, the truth [Cornwall Alliance President] Beisner spoke dumped a massive bucket of ice water on the spell that all that Christianese sloganeering was casting. … Beisner destroyed the arguments raised against the knowledge of God by clinging to the Word no matter who might accuse him of being foolish (2 Corinthians 10:5). People woke up. Beisner’s courage gave them courage. Beisner’s wisdom gave them wisdom.”
