Description:

This book is the fruit of 25 years of spiritual contemplation and action seeking the heart of the Christian message. Brief, profound, beautifully written meditations on Jesus' life-giving message. Powerful, prophetic meditations on the "signs of the times", issues such as the war in Iraq, the call to peacemaking, reconciliation, and social justice, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the witness of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., migrant labor rights, and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The author, an experienced pastor and teacher, seeks to make the heart of the Christian message accessible and relevant to thoughtful, progressive people.
