Frank Honeycutt is an engaging preacher whose depictions of Jesus and other biblical characters are unique. Readers will have much to ponder in this collection of some of his best sermons. --Gerald R. McDermott, author of Famous Stutterers Several times these essays brought me to a complete stop as I thought, 'I'd never considered that.' Honeycutt's breezy, accessible style cleverly peels layer upon layer to unveil both depth and wisdom. By the end, I was wishing he was my pastor. --Deb Richardson-Moore, author of The Weight of Mercy, The Cantaloupe Thief and The Cover Story In this accessible, witty, and often profound book, Honeycutt invites those of us who know the content of the Bible and those of us who don't to explore its treasures with fresh eyes as the church commemorates the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. He brings his own insightful observations and reflections to the text and invites us, as individuals or in groups, to do the same. Those familiar with Honeycutt's approachable style will not be surprised that this book is hard to put down; those who have not yet made his acquaintance will find here a wise, helpful guide to the often strange world of the Bible. --H. Julian Gordy, Bishop, ELCA Southeastern Synod When Pastor Honeycutt describes John the Baptist as 'a Rottweiler who hasn't eaten in awhile' you know that inside this easygoing storyteller is a serious wordsmith who wants to wake up the neighbors. He's right--we avoid the Bible not because we're busy but because we're afraid. But if you're willing to risk reading the Bible again, Honeycutt is a wise and whimsical guide. He writes like that rare real-life pastor you can say anything to, because he's done, said, or thought it himself. --Lillian Daniel, author of Tired of Apologizing for a Church I Don't Belong to, Senior Pastor, First Congregational Church, Dubuque, Iowa
