Produktbeschreibung

For forty-three years, Norman Stockwell preached the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as an Episcopal priest. He left behind a treasure trove of sermons and other papers that his son, Peter Stockwell, inherited. In 2015, Peter began a blog using his dad's sermons as the basis for the material. Along with his commentaries about each sermon the number of presentations grew into a small group of related sermon, that became the Stormin' Norman series. Peter decided to collect the blogs into a book and volume 1 was born. Since that first book came into existence, a second volume if sermons was published in 2017. This book is the third volume and focuses on the Gospel written by John. Peter plans to continue writing commentaries for his father's sermons and creating books for anyone to read.

Autorenporträt

Norman Stockwell was born in Timmons, Ontario, Canada, on March 28, 1916, to Frank and Eva Stockwell, who had emigrated from England. After his family moved to the United States, he grew up in North Adams, Massachusetts. He had an older sister, Dorothy, an older brother, Alfred, and two younger sisters, Midge and Mary. He became an Episcopal priest in 1943 and served in various congregations throughout Idaho and Washington. After marrying Jane S. Nickolds, on February 13, 1943, they departed Massachusetts for Gooding, Idaho. He oversaw four church congregations in Gooding, Jerome, Shoshone, and Wendle. Toward the end of the war, he worked with the United States Navy in Long Beach, California as a chaplain and then, after returning home to Massachusetts for several months, relocated to Moscow, Idaho, to become the rector of St. Mark's Episcopal Church and to be chaplain for the University of Idaho.After eight years, Norman accepted a position at the Church of the Ascension in Twin Falls, Idaho. With an expansion of the facility to provide a larger parish hall and classroom space, the church attendance increased. His ministry continued to expand.Another eight years precipitated the family's move to Longview, Washington, and St. Stephen's Episcopal Church. Norman and Jane finished moving when his last church called him to Bremerton, Washington, and St. Paul's Episcopal Church. He retired in 1981 and settled into retirement until health problems interfered. He suffered a stroke in September 1985 and died ten months later on July 17, 1986.
