Mark Taylor's sermons and the memoir around them are a playful, earnest, and transformative reminder that the Scriptures live when they are preached, interpreted, and examined with wonder. This work is worth savoring and will take you deeply into the text of the Bible, as well as the text of our everyday Christian lives. --Alissa Newton, Canon for Congregational Development and Leadership Formation, Episcopal Diocese of Olympia What I love about Mark Taylor's book is that it gives us both a look at a variety of sermons preached in different formats . . . and a peek into the preacher's rich world of context, influence by others, and self-discovery along the way. Such an interesting and satisfying read! --Melissa M. Skelton, Assisting Bishop, The Diocese of Olympia Mark Taylor has found the secret sauce of preaching: integrity, faithful engagement with Scripture, profound love for a community of listeners, and formidable capacity for honest self-reflection grounded in the world we live in. The result is a special blend of personal theology infused with a rich blend of Christian traditions, served up as twelve delectable courses, each of which leaves us, like the finest meals, both satisfied and looking forward to the next. --Sara Fischer, Rector, Saints Peter and Paul Episcopal Church
