Christianity Today
"Here is a collection of sermons so delightful, so engrossing, so
beautifully crafted, so moving that it begs to be savored in
thoughtful bits and consumed in craving gulps. . . Rarely does a
book so concretely go about its business with such a clear focus
and then deliver exactly what it promises." Navy Chaplain
"Looking for a good collection of sermons? Who can lose with a
collection such as A Chorus of Witnesses edited by Tom Long and
Cornelius Plantinga? . . . An exceptional collection of some of the
best sermons ever preached, as well as some of the best sermons
that ever needed to be preached. It is a 'must have' for every
preacher's library and an invaluable tool for devotional use."
Reformed Review
"Anyone who has occasion to preach, or who enjoys hearing or
reading a finely crafted message will take delight in this book. .
. Those who preach will find themselves returning to these pages
for inspiration, encouragement, refreshment, or to be reminded of
the value of a well-crafted message." The Christian Ministry
"An impressive collection of three-dozen sermons from 20th-century
preachers including Frederick Buechner, Barbara Brown Taylor,
Elizabeth Achtemeier, Karl Barth, JC.S. Lewis, William Willimon,
Harry Emerson Fosdick, Paul Tillich, William Sloane Coffin, Lewis
Smedes and Jürgen Moltmann. Reading one of these sermons a day
should greatly inspire your preaching."
