His two most recent books are Earthy Mysticism (2008) and The Future of John Wesley's Theology (2012).

In her book, Christianity for the Rest of Us, Diana Butler Bass notes that both the Living the Questions program and it’s methodology were part of the success and vitality of one of her subject churches, Trinity Episcopal Church in Santa Barbara, California. In Big Christianity: What’s Right with the Religious Left, author Jan G. Linn wrote that "Living the Questions is a welcomed … alternative to literalism that has promise in helping Christians find the biblical grounding for Bigger Christianity." He affirms that "faith questions are consistent with a desire to grow into spiritual maturity" with a quote from the mission of the Living the Questions series:


 * "People know that at its core, Christianity has something good to offer the human race. At the same time, many have a sense that they are alone in being a “thinking” Christian and that “salvaging” Christianity is a hopeless task. What is needed is a safe environment where they have permission to ask the questions they’ve always wanted to ask but have been afraid to voice for fear of being thought a heretic."

Living the Questions co-creators, Rev. Jeff Procter-Murphy and Rev. David Felten, have been recognized by Bishop John Shelby Spong as "two of the most gifted young clergy I have ever met" and being among the younger generation of clergy and theological future thinkers saying,


 * "I see future thinkers – yes, overtly Christian thinkers – already on the horizon and eager to go to places in their writing that it has not yet occurred to me to walk. I think especially of such people as Greta Vosper in Ontario, Ian Lawton in Michigan, Eric Elnes in Nebraska, Carlton Pearson and Robin Meyers in Oklahoma, Jeff Procter-Murphy and David Felten in Arizona, Hugh Dawes in England and Greg Jenks in Australia, whom I regard as the most creative church-related voices in the next generation. Each will make an enormous impact on the emerging Christian world."
