To call this simply a book of sermons does not do it justice. They are sermonspreached over a thirty-five-year periodto differing congregations, but they are also lessons on life and living. Biblically based to be sure, but the scriptures are filtered through a mind steeped in the classics, open to whats going on in the world, and not afraid to raise questions that challenge the very faith that is being preached. Although Rev. Starnes is known for his preaching skills, he is primarily a writer, who, as someone says, knows how to string words together. A note worthy comment made when considering his book is what one said: He writes for the ear.
