In this new edition of her earliest collection of sermons Barbara Brown Taylor brings her down-to-earth wisdom and keen perspective to the Bible readings of the lectionary cycle. Originally preached for the congregation of All Saints' Episcopal Church in downtown Atlanta, the topics of these sermons range from conversations with Abraham and Moses in the texts of the Hebrew scriptures to our awareness of the communion of saints and how to recognize a miracle when one comes our way.

Industry Reviews

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