Strength for the Journey

de Peter J. Gomes · Publicada por primera vez en 2003

This book is a major collection of sermons from the man Time Magazine hailed as one of the best preachers in the country. In Strength for the Journey, Gomes offers a new collection of his most important sermons, which draw on the wisdom of the Bible to guide us through the year and enrich our daily lives. Strength for the Journey features twenty-two of his stirring addresses dealing with themes of daily life such as commitment, death, happiness, innocence, patriotism, and struggle; and 18 in during sermons focusing on the seasons of the liturgical year. Never one to shy away from controversy,Gomes preaches sermons such as "In Praise of Harlots," "Plenty Good Room," and "Patriotism Is Not Enough." Publishers Weekly called Gomes's historic "Outer Turmoil, Inner Strength" sermon, delivered just days after the tragic events of September 11, "one of the most eloquent, sensitive Christian responses to the attack." - Jacket flap.
