Description

The prophet Amos, a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore trees, had a parallel, and more challenging, calling as a shepherd of human souls. So too does Garret Keizer, an Episcopalian minister to the community of Island Pond in Vermont’s Northeast Kindgdom. This profoundly up to date book displays now not only keizer’s knowledge of life’s small practicalities (winding the church clock, purchasing for groceries), but additionally his insights about faith and the mysterious ways of God. With an eye attuned to both the pleasures and foibles that make life in the world so wealthy, he presents a refreshing and steadily hilarious account of the hands-on work had to handle a parish and sustain its spirit. He’s a man who believes that God’s intentions, if seldom apparent, are inevitably compassionate and compelling.
