Robert L. Blocker Dean School of Music Yale University Hal Warlick reveals to us that learning to live with limits is the way to a more expansive and fulfilling life. Warlick is a storyteller. His illustrations hold the reader and illumine the narrative. Mark Trotter Senior Minister First United Methodist Church San Diego, CA Harold Warlick's Living With Limits is precisely the kind of book we need for this confused, exasperating, yet exhilarating time in the life of the church. Instead of offering either despair or platitudes about the loss of traditional belief and value-structures, it shows us how to rejoice in the God who transcends historical ambiguities and to respond to the challenge of the times with a lilting imagination and a skip in our step. It ought to become a handbook for Christians in every denomination. John Killinger Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture Samford University Harold C.
