Gospel medicine is Barbara Taylor's metaphor for the healing power
of God seen in the active and ongoing restoration of this broken
world. In this new collection of sermons she practices the
old-fashioned art of gospel home remedies like a true evangelist,
summoning with piercing clarity and wit the Old and New Testament
stories that have the power to mend our spirits, strengthen our
weaknesses, and restore us to wholeness. Scripture comes to life in
the contemporary people and places of which Taylor speaks. Georgia
apple-growers become God's sharecroppers of the gospel parable;
through Mary's embracing of her role as God-bearer we are dared to
take risks in our own discipleship; in Jonah's angry stand-off with
God we see reflections of our own struggles with a God who is more
forgiving than we want him to be; with tender awe after years of
waiting Sarah wipes her hands on her apron and goes to tell Abraham
she is to bear a child. Through the stories of Scripture, Taylor
addresses with moving simplicity the contemporary wounds of anger,
abandonment, fear of judgment, and a longing for home, healing, and
mercy.
