Synopsis

Those who have heard Clarence Jordan speak will once again be moved by the power and conviction of his words when they read this volume. Those who never heard him will welcome this chance to meet him. Here is Clarence Jordan at his best: the biting irony that pierced sham and pretense, the flashing wit that could illuminate as it delighted, the blazing concern that knew how to lay its burden on the heart of even the casual listener, the depth of spirit that saw fresh meaning in the most familiar passage of Scripture.
