Produktbeschreibung

Take the best preacher you've ever heard; add in the teacher who first opened your eyes to the excitement and meaning of your favorite subject in school; combine these with that member of the family to whom you could always turn for the best advice; stir them all together, and you'll get a flavor of the writing of Ellsworth Kalas. And now the very best thoughts and reflections of this wise teacher and guide are available together in one volume.

Across his career Ellsworth Kalas has worn many hats: pastor, professor, seminary president. Through all of them, however, he has remained first and foremost an interpreter of God's Word. His most potent skill is to open up new insights and meanings in even the most familiar biblical stories. Gathered here are some Kalas's most humorous, touching, and enlightening writings, drawn from his own experience of finding God in Scripture.
