From the bestselling writer and renowned preacher Barbara Brown Taylor comes a sparkling collection of stories and sermons of faith, grace, and hope. As a priest and teacher, Barbara knew her congregation and her students well, but today her public appearances are almost always as a visiting speaker or preacher addressing an audience of strangers. Many Christians, wondering how to speak about their faith also find themselves 'far from home' in a culture or among people who share little or nothing of their language or understanding. Wise, gracious, funny, profound and beautifully written, Always a Guest reveals how Barbara learned to speaking of faith by seeking common ground and exploring shared human experience. Her first sermon collection for twenty years, this will appeal to all Barbara's many fans and especially to those who are preachers themselves. Full of her astute observations on the Spirit and the state of the world and animated by her ready wit, this collection will be a joy for many.
