"For those, like me, who rarely hear a memorable sermon, Fleming Rutledge’s wondrous collection is worth a month of Sundays. May she preach forever."
— Kenneth L. Woodward
author of Getting Religion
"Among the many other blessings it brings, Rutledge’s book helps to restore our confidence that, both as a ministry and as a literary form, there is simply no substitute for good preaching. The need for such preaching is impossible to overstate. If we don’t have the good fortune to hear sermons like this very often, let us at least read them."
— Christian Century
"It is extremely rare to find in any one preacher such deep faith, fearlessness before the powers that be, and deep humility combined with such crackling intelligence and stunning powers of expression. Fleming Rutledge is a gift to the Christian pulpit, and these sermons are life preservers thrown to a culture drowning in uncertainty."
— Thomas G. Long
Candler School of Theology, Emory University
"Rutledge’s sermons shine with biblical intelligence and pastoral wisdom."
— Cornelius Plantinga Jr.

"You will not be able to put this book down. Buy it, read it, and be refreshed in mind and Spirit."
— Southwestern Journal of Theology
"Those who are nourished by good sermons will enjoy Fleming Rutledge’s well-crafted homilies. Those who are obliged to preach may profit from studying how she fashions her sermons and weaves both current events and ancient texts into them."
— The Anglican
