 Christianity for the rest of us August 18, 2007
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
What a blessing to read a book that reveals a Christian faith based on Jesus' example of infinite love. In this day of many loud and forthright fundamentalist proclamations about who is going to be damned, who is not "right with the Lord", and who is just not as good as they should be, it is wonderful to read a clear and humble doctrine of love. None of us are as good as we should be, but the Reverend Schori seems to tell us some ways to try.
 Hopefilled wings and prayers May 29, 2007
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
The sermon/ meditations are moving and inspiring. They give great hope not only for the Episcopal Church but also for Christians and other people of faith. It would have been helpful to have scripture references with the chapter titles.
A Wing and a Prayer: A Message of Faith and Hope April 9, 2007
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
The author is authentic and inspiring with real life spiritual experiences. I can certainly see why she became a Bishop! Her "feel" for the downtrodden transforms her readers into not only people of faith, but people of action. Her communication skills help differing views to come together as the Lord would have us do. I liked the book a lot!
True leadership for Episcopalians and other believers April 7, 2007
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
Katherine Jefferts Schori has collected in this small volume an assortment of meditations, homilies, and thoughts challenging one to find ways be a Christian in today's world. Building on a person's Baptismal vows and our Lord's call to ministry, both lay and ordained, our Presiding Bishop reveals her deep faith and belief that the church is on the brink of many exciting new works, serving the world. Throughout the book is her belief in the total ministry of the whole church. Laced with illustrations from her personal experieces as an oceanographer, lay leader, priest, and bishop. she calls all Christians to roll up their sleeves and get involved serving the poor, needy, forgotten, and destitute. It is inspiring to find such down-to-earth love for the church and its Lord in a Presiding Bishop. I was reminded often of the passion and strength of John Hines while reading her call to faith and action. This little book deserves wide-spread study throughout the church by lay and clergy alike. It served me well as a Lenten book of meditation. My only suggestion would be to incorporate more Biblical chapter and verse where they are often missing.
 Not what I expected. March 23, 2007

I was disappointed. Not much break-through thinking from someone I admire.
Guess my expectations were too high.
