From the Publisher
This collection of sermons and essays reflects John Lathrop's manifest skill as a teacher of the Word: cerebral, full of substance, light on the clichés, thought-provoking and inspiring. He writes from a Pentecostal perspective, but pulls no punches when addressing myths common with Pentecostalism. He opens the scriptures to us as an experienced pastor, well-read, addressing significant and sometimes controversial issues within the church, including the gifts of tongues and prophesy, divine guidance, spiritual conceit, women in church leadership, collecting offerings, and Jesus as a model for the church's public ministry. And always, he frames the issue as a story of hope, expounding on the life-expanding stories of scripture.
