'Integrity: Living God's Word'--new book!

Front Cover
Integrity: Living God’s Word (WestBow Press, 2018), a new collection of 55 of my homilies, connects scripture and service. The year’s cycle representing salvation history weaves together contemporary humor, human experiences and challenges, and communion with all God’s creation.
And the “good news” is Easter is early this year; the book is accessible for Lenten bible study and general inspiration.

Integrity: Living God’s Word features heroes ranging from recently canonized favorite Mother Teresa of Calcutta to renowned Protestant theologian, Bach scholar and medical doctor Albert Schweitzer. And of course, historic examples populating the Old and New Testaments.

This new book invites the reader to encounter the living Christ, who communicates his life to us. This bread we eat and this cup we drink should not only form us into a community of deeper faith but also empower us to reach out compassionately to the people around us. Yes, the Eucharist is a going forth. We must go from the church to “wash the feet” of our brothers and sisters in daily life. In giving ourselves to others, we will live God’s word and act with integrity wherever we are, and whatever our profession and relationships.”

Integrity: Living God’s Word (WestBow Press, 2018, ISBN 978-1-9736-1122-6) is available now in paperback, hardcover, and e-book format from booksellers including
