Packed full of stories about the human condition, this book of
insightful sermons based largely on texts from Paul's letter to the
Romans will be invaluable to preachers, teachers, and laypersons.
Readers will serendipitously find marvelous results when one acts
in faith on the "absurd" notion that God loves us unconditionally.
These messages from an outstanding preacher demonstrate that when
we follow the example of Paul and faithfully try to become what God
created us to be, wonderful things begin to happen
"Gary Carver moves beyond those who find Paul's words to be complex
and rigid. He gives to us examples in which Paul's timeless and
deep theological concepts are used to address the struggles of
contemporary Christians sensitively.... From teenage athletes to
contacts in Alcoholics Anonymous to couples struggling with
marriage and a host of other human experiences, Carver profoundly
recalls experiences that illustrate Paul's insistence that one can
experience a changed life in Christ." (from the Foreword)
Harold C. Warlick Jr.
Professor of Religion and Minister to the University
High Point University
"With a scholarly understanding of the Pauline writings, Gary
Carver uses his masterful skills as a storyteller to bring the
biblical accounts to life. His treatment of each passage is brought
to a climax with probing ethical insight and deeply moving personal
application. Both laypersons and preachers will benefit greatly
from a reading of these prophetic sermons laced with marvelous
illustrations."
Thomas H. Graves
President, Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond
"To experience the preaching of Gary Carver is to find oneself in a
gallery of living illustrations, all pointing to Jesus Christ. No
cookie-cutter preacher, this gifted communicator is endowed both
with uncommon insight into the human predicament and God's absurdly
fetching grace. Read this book and discover God's spirit calling
you to a more meaningful, involved following of Jesus."
Timothy L. Owings
Pastor, First Baptist Church
Augusta, Georgia
"Gary Carver has a vivid sense of the wonder God creates in
everyday life, and he has a keen eye for the human condition....
His insight into the Bible and into the heart of its stories always
finds the underlying story of hope, even in the most
hopeless-looking of situations. His discoveries, then, make it seem
quite natural and sensible to "act on the absurd.""
Dudley Rose
Director of Field Education
Harvard Divinity School
