Review
“This vibrant collection leaps off the page, offering balm in Gilead, renewal of identity, and God’s promise to restore the years the swarming locust has eaten. These are words of solidarity, courage, and hope. If you want to learn wisdom from the wilderness of the pandemic, this is the place to begin.”–Samuel Wells, Vicar, St Martin-in-the-Fields, London
“Explicitly Christian yet relevant to all children of God, these sermons speak of COVID and conscience, racism and reconciliation, piety and politics. They provide comfort, inspiration, challenge, and sometimes needed indictment.”–Amy-Jill Levine, Rabbi Stanley M. Kessler Distinguished Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies, Hartford International University for Religion and Peace
“The sermons in Reconciliation, Healing, and Hope shine as beacons of preaching excellence during a dark time of suffering, death, and fear.”–Dr. A. Gary Shilling, Founder of The Episcopal Preaching Foundation
