The Best of William H. Willimon: Acting up in Jesus' Name

The Best of William H. Willimon: Acting up in Jesus' Name

Heâ€™s been called a contrarian, a provocateur, and a few other things we canâ€™t say in print. Heâ€™s also been called one of the twelve most effective proclaimers of the gospel in the English-speaking world. Heâ€™s been a pastor, a chaplain, and a bishop. But ask William H. Willimon how he sees himself, and heâ€™ll tell you itâ€™s as a preacher and a truth-teller. He has pursued that passion for preaching the truth of God in over sixty books. Gathered in this volume are Willimonâ€™s best writings on what it means to be a faithful Christian, and a faithful preacher of the Christian gospel, in todayâ€™s world. All the themes that so enliven his writingsâ€“the gospelâ€™s refusal to be co-opted by the culture, the strangeness of Christian faith, the centrality of the preached word of Godâ€“are present here. Whether youâ€™re a long time Willimon reader or are encountering him for the first time, you will find inspiration and much food for thought from this, one of Godâ€™s most â€œpeculiar prophets.â€
