Editorials
From Barnes & Noble
You have only to read this collection of stirring sermons by the Reverend Peter J. Gomes to understand why this distinguished Baptist minister and Harvard professor has been called one of the most inspiring preachers in America.Nathan Marsh Pusey
"One of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, articulate, and persuasive spokesmen for the Christian religion in the present secular age."James O. Freedman
"With great learning and wit, Reverend Peter J. Gomes stirs our souls and stimulates our minds ..."Christian Century
"This book might be your best bet for gaining a heart of wisdom, à la Peter Gomes."Christian Century
“This book might be your best bet for gaining a heart of wisdom, à la Peter Gomes.”Library Journal
For some time, the publication of a work by the Reverend Gomes has been an event; any university preacher whose books reach the best sellers lists is noteworthy. (Gomes serves at Harvard's Memorial Church.) This work will not disappoint Gomes's readers: his topical and liturgical sermons deal in the same tart and sensible yet devout terms as his previous books. Gomes's manner revives and revalidates the word avuncular: he is, for the Christian or nearly Christian reader, the good and well-spoken uncle whose advice is always worth hearing.
