The author originally preached all of these sermons in his "home" church, but has rewritten them for a wider audience. One reviewer has said that these words touch the very center of our minds as well as our hearts. The problems we find in having faith, pairing sin and suffering, accepting change, worrying, and loving are as relevant today as they were eons ago. Dr. Ramey's insights and directions lead us to examine (or re-examine) Scripture. His discussions illumine those ancient texts with a conversational tone that is never "preachy," and the ideas reflect his years of teaching and research. Therein, we ultimately find the love and comfort Christ brings to those of of us who call ourselves Christians. At the same time, his sermons reveal the power of Christ to those who may not know him. That is, after all, what sermons should do. His words linger in our thoughts long after reading.
