No one understands the mission of The Salvation Army ﾡﾪ or revels in it more ﾡﾪ than Dr. Bob Docter, O.F. Player-coach, perceptive commentator, critic and cheerleader by turns, his essays "from the corner" are wise and warmly human, gutsy but gracious, refreshingly candid and painfully pointed. He asks the tough questions with a prophet's penchant for prodding us out of complacency. Must reading for every Salvationist ﾡﾪ from generals in command to cadets on the cusp of commissioning and all our faithful force striving to advance the Army's unique mission.
Paul A. Rader, General (Ret.)
Bob Docter's A View from the Corner offers a highly stimulating perspective on many issues touching modern Salvationism in North America. I commend it to readers and express warm thanks to the author for sharing so effectively from a lifetime of dedicated Salvation Army service.
Shaw Clifton, General
This is vintage Bob Docter! A panorama of his views that mark him as a man of passion, vision and faith, with strong convictions grounded in an unwavering commitment to the Army. It is all there, striking at the conscience and the heart as penetrating challenge of what we can be as Salvationists and a Salvation Army. Bob dissects the Army, gives advice to everyone, and puts his finger on sore spots-but always with love, gently chiding us for our smugness, our lack of compassion, our rigidity, our insularity. This is good stuff!
Ronald G. Irwin, Commissioner
