Product Overview

Hes been called a contrarian, a provocateur, and a few other things we cant say in print. Hes also been called one of the twelve most effective proclaimers of the gospel in the English-speaking world. Hes been a pastor, a chaplain, and a bishop. But ask William H. Willimon how he sees himself, and hell tell you its as a preacher and a truth-teller. He has pursued that passion for preaching the truth of God in over sixty books. Gathered in this volume are Willimons best writings on what it means to be a faithful Christian, and a faithful preacher of the Christian gospel, in todays world. All the themes that so enliven his writingsthe gospels refusal to be co-opted by the culture, the strangeness of Christian faith, the centrality of the preached word of Godare present here. Whether youre a long time Willimon reader or are encountering him for the first time, you will find inspiration and much food for thought from this, one of Gods most peculiar prophets.
