About this title

Review:

Sermons wonderfully intelligent, moving, and direct.--Annie Dillard

With no ax to grind except the Gospel, Barbara Brown Taylor has done what good preachers should do. She has preached the Word.--Will D. Campbell

A poet with a sense of humor. Her imagination enlivens Biblical texts.--Verna J. Dozier

Taylor lets the listeners in on the preparation and the thought and the delivery of her sermons. She invites them to bear some responsibility for the message she preaches.--Fred B. Craddock

This is a new edition of the author's earlier sermons, well worth republishing. Taylor has a gift, not only for the right words, but also for putting together the biblical passages with appropriate examples from the people and culture in which we live. As she leads us through the lectionary texts, explaining and applying them in helpful ways, we follow, nodding our heads 'yes' as we go.--Episcopal Life

Barbara Brown Taylor has a rare constellation of gifts--intellectual carefulness and depth, coupled with an artistic sensibility for image-making.--John Claypool
