About this Item

Hardcover. "I bring you news of a living reality that changes everything. Jesus has come; Jesus will come. Whatever your own personal darkness, it has been and will be overcome." Means of Grace is a weekly devotional culled from the sermons of beloved pastor and theologian Fleming Rutledge, organized according to the framework of the liturgical calendar. Each entry, compiled and edited by Rutledge's friend Laura Bardolph Hubers, begins with a biblical passage and ends with a short prayer. Those familiar with Rutledge's work will recognize both her genuine empathy for human experience and her deep reverence for God. Anyone longing for the wise pastoral guidance of an adept veteran preacher--one who views Scripture not as bland "life lessons" or "timeless teaching" but as "the living God present and acting in the story of redemption"--will find here a meaningful companion through the seasons of their spiritual journey that they can return to year after year. "A weekly devotional culled from the sermons of Fleming Rutledge designed to be used within the framework of the liturgical calendar"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

A theologically rich resource for devotional reading and prayer

Means of Grace is a remarkable devotional drawn from the sermons of beloved pastor and theologian Fleming Rutledge. In keeping with her embrace of Anglican tradition, the book is organized around the liturgical calendar; it spans the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and the lengthy period following Pentecost. Each entry explores a biblical passage and ends with a short prayer. Means of Grace thus guides readers in reading, reflecting on, and responding to Scripture throughout the church year.

Like all Rutledge’s work, Means of Grace conveys both her genuine empathy for human experience and her deep reverence for God. Anyone longing for spiritual wisdom from an experienced pastor and preacher―one who understands Scripture as “the living God present and acting in the story of redemption”―will find here a valuable resource that remains deeply meaningful from one year to the next.
