Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-11 00:00:00 Justin Schrump The subtitle of this book was "prayer as stories and stories as prayer." The author is a priest who grew up in an Irish Catholic family of NINE children. Some of the stories are funny; some are sad; all are inspirational. This book was a gift; I'm not sure I would have selected it for myself.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-04-17 00:00:00 Ronald Maestri This book explores the unique difficulties women must work through In order to effectively engage in proclamation. Styles of delivery, hermeneutic approach, liberation and feminist theology threat often drives the woman's sermon (whether a radical adherent or an unwitting one). The book is helpful by adding to the discussion of the gender bias that is inherent In the church towards female preachers/pastors. By becoming aware and understanding the differences in hermeneutical approach and understanding, and the underlying psychological factors that contribute to a woman's delivery and the reception of the sermon, bias can be lessened and unity better attained.
