Description

The church is often criticized for being out of touch or lacking in relevance. We may find ourselves turning to business strategy or marketing or psychology for answers. Can we find a word from God among the noise and anxiety of our age? Proclaiming God’s Word – or even hearing it – requires courage and commitment. Do we dare? A preacher of preachers, William H. Willimon has taught and lectured around the world in some of the most prestigious universities and in small church meeting rooms. He has authored nearly 100 books, selling over a million copies. With a combination of humor, affability, and incisive wisdom, Will Willimon has set the standard for more than a generation of preachers and has inspired life-changing discipleship among congregations. Willimon is a bishop of The United Methodist Church (retired), former Dean of Duke Chapel, and continues to serve as Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry at Duke Divinity School.
