"Serving as a pastor of a church in great transition and navigating leading and being Christ's church in the throes of a pandemic, I strongly recommend Barbara Brown Taylor’s book, Always a Guest. In each chapter, a well-crafted sermon and a reminder to stay in God’s Word. In each chapter, a priceless reminder to trust that the Holy Spirit will make necessary connections. In each chapter, a reminder that we are always guests wading in cavernous pools of God’s good love in Jesus Christ." —The Presbyterian Outlook

"Taylor delivers good news to any preacher stuck in a rut and longing to just tell it like it is, for once, for Christ's sake." —The Englewood Review of Books
