Parting Words

Here the reader meets the words of a preacher, pastor, and bishop whose voice runs through these pages. The author recalls a phrase she has carried with her for more than thirteen years: a request for patience, grounded in the belief that God has not finished shaping any of us.

The collection closes on a blessing for readers. It hopes they will keep growing in joyful service to God, and that they will be remade, equipped anew, and given fresh power in the seasons ahead. The author is Barbara C. Harris, an Episcopal bishop, and the book was published by Cowley Publications.
